[Coco] Seeking ECB Rom in the US

[Kip Koon]

Sean,
I thought we might talk privately.  I can put Color Basic 1.3, Extended
Basic 1.1, HDBDOS v1.1 DW3 in one rom for you right now.  I have tested that
image in Return of Coco which a Coco 2 Emulator.  You will not be able to
use any disk controller with your coco 2 if we do it this way.  I just want
you to be sure you understand that.  The size of the image file requires a
27256 eprom which is a 28-pin device, so it will plug in to your Korean Coco
2B, however you will need to bend out pin 27 straight out horizontally so
you can solder a wire to it and attach the other end to Address line A14
somewhere on the board.  If this is out of the question, then I can burn CB
1.3 and ECB 1.1 in a 27128 and HDBDOS DW3 into a 2764 for use in a cartridge
pak.  Just let me know which way you want this burned and I come up with a
price for you.
Kip

Kip,

If I can get Drivewire on boot that would be nice. I was going to  just hook
up an
.MP3 player with the loader on it. I'm not too hung up on getting  CoCo 3
stuff going Mostly I just want to get my games catalog going, and maybe some
light programming.
I have fond memories of beating the crap out of ECB when I was a kid.
