The real problem with OS-9 is when you only have 24K available RAM in 
a 512k CoCo 3.  You then try to load a disk drive module and 2 
descriptors which have all 3 been merged into a compact module about 
1K or less, then you see only 8K of RAM available.   You then try to 
use your driver, and OS-9 reports Out of Memory.

If such a RAM card and it's drivers could improve on the memory 
management of OS-9 Level Two, then it couldn't be a bad thing.
