Jan..

This Coco has 64k of RAM. The idea that Tandy used
half bad 64k RAM is a rumor.

In all my years of working with Coco's, I've NEVER
seen one.

Every 32k unit, except early home-upgraded units with
piggy-backed 16k chips, were 64k.

And I NEVER said the Composite Adapter was standard. I
just said, one was in there...

ROFLMAO!

It's sold already, (pending my emailing the first
person who responded to my email) and there's no point
in posting a picture of it. It looks NO different from
ANY Coco I you can see on any website.

All the differences are internal.
