[Coco] RGBDOS, HDBDOS, and key repeat

[Barry Nelson]

Well, unless I am mistaken, my HDBDOS rom is 8K, and there is room for 16k, so it should fit. How can I splice this in? Also, I have had some issues getting HDBDOS running on my CoCo 1, what is the right rom to use there? Also, if I didn’t mind the slower speed, could I run the same HDBDOS rom for a CoCo 1 on a CoCo 3?
