I'm a poor person to respond but I think the gist was...
inferior cpu to superior cpu was doable
superior cpu to inferior cpu was a big pain in the neck (requiring much
more code and sacrifices of chickens)

Thanks Kip!
The ZIP has the DSK file and a folder with another DSK file. Are these the
same file, or should I be using one over the other? Thanks again! Salvador

Hi Michael,
Here is a Disk Extended Color Basic disk image of an upgraded version of
Robert Gault's original MEMTEST program called MEMTST3.BIN that now will
test every memory location in a 64K, 512KB and a 2MB machine. I know this
is the memory test program you will ever need for any of your CoCos! Have
fun figuring out what CoCo you have.
It sounds like you have a CoCo 1 with a D board. The D board has a jumper
for 4K / 16K of ram memory so the fact that yours has that big mess of
wires means you have at least 32KB of ram memory. It took that big mess of
wires to upgrade the D motherboard up to 32KB back in the day. These first
upgrades to the memory were 32KB only if memory serves. You may or may not
have 64KB of ram memory. This latest version of Robert Gault's MEMTEST
program called MEMTST3.BIN will definitely tell you how much actual memory
your latest Coco acquisition definitely has. Do let us all know what you
find and please document the restoration of this Coco 1. I for one would
like to see the restoration process you choose.
I have a D board in my CoCo 1 also. The top half of the case has a BIG
hole in it. I'd like to find another CoCo 1 case to replace it. If anyone
has a spare CoCo 1 case that they don't want or at least the top half of
one then PLEASE let me know. Thanks a bunch. Michael, I pray all goes
well with your restoration. Take care my friends.

Subject: [Coco] How to check the amount of memory installed?
I have a CoCo 1 it was originally a 4k machine, it has been modified but
all memory chips are ceramic type chips with no markings whatsoever(not
even on the bottom) alot of soldered wire jumpers and such are in the
vicinity of the ram. I am certain the ram is upgraded. There were also mods
to the case, including a cutout for a db25 connector (whatever was there is
gone) and sloppy repairs to the keyboard cable. I would like to restore
this one as It will give me a 1, 1b,2 and 3. I would like to confirm it is
functional before I do a restoration. It does turn on and the keyboard
works (it was disconnected when it arrived) basically got it for free with
a purchase of 2 disk controllers, which both work.

I extracted both files and compared them. They are identical. Perhaps a
"feature" of 7-zip? :-)

Hi Barry,
My hard drive has the directory MEMTEST and inside the directory the
MEMTEST.dsk disk image. I right-clicked on the MEMTEST directory with 7-zip
to create the memtest.zip file. I have no idea why there are 2 copies of
the memtest.dsk file inside the archive. You guess is as good as
mine?!?!?!? Maybe this is one of the 7 wonders of the CoCo World! :)

Hi all,
I,m wondering if someone came to find or is in the possession of the code (
program ) that is able to translate 6502 to 8609. There exist a PDF "6502
to 6908 Translator", but as until now I could not find the software.
Hope this call will come up with something..

It's probably best to just email me directly, instead of the list.
I'll be honest, Summer happened, and I need to get back onto it.

Your title asks for 6809->6502, you specify 6502->8609 in the body, and
you mention you found a "6502->6908" PDF!
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that you're really looking
for a 6502->6809 translator!?! ;)
I recall this was discussed on this list in recent years, but don't know
if the actual software was located and distributed. IIUC it's in the CSC
line of utilities by Edgar (Bud) Pass which Dave Philipsen recently
posted about.
