[Coco] Color Basic, Coco 1 "F" and 64K RAM...

[Ron]

Hi Art,

Sure enough, it was Color Basic 1.1 and not 1.0.  I was just emailing Al 
about  this and how I could have missed it.

In any case, I was able to add the Extended Color Basic 1.0 ROM as well 
as perform the necessary capacitor clipping, jumper setting and replace 
the 16K of RAM with 64K.  The Coco powers on and everything *seems* OK, 
but I'm looking for a 64K RAM test utility that runs under DECB.  
Nothing obvious on the Coco archive.  Would anyone have a memory testing 
application for Coco 1's?

Thanks!

-Ron
