Bruce,
I would like to see those 64KB upgrade memory boards!  Does that make the Coco 2 128KB by any chance?

===========================

This is covered on page 77 of the book "Tandy's Little Wonder" by F. G. 
Swygert with one minor exception.  I have in stock 2 of the somewhat rare plug-in 64k upgrade boards.
