[Coco] Remembering the Deluxe Color Computer....

[Bruce W. Calkins]

The CoCo 1 and 2 could display up to 51 columns of text (under a PMODE 4 
screen?) using software.  Since the text needed processing the response was 
slowed.  The package I used ran under OS-9 level 1 version 2 if I remember 
correctly.  Legibility suffered too.
