Rats, now I'm torn as to what to do. I've got a CoCo 2 so I don't need to upgrade it.
But I do need to find a new top. Looks like this baby was at the bottom of the large,
heavy pile. It was in the junk pile and a slight donation ($10) let me walk away with
it. I knew it would go unloved otherwise so I took it home. It's keeping company with
my other Vintage (Atari A8s, bunch of other 6809, a Dage MC-3 (1802), PTK 68000 ... ).

Okay, I can leave the CoCo 1 stock. My CoCo 3 is going to get a memory
upgrade for NitrOS9 LII (LIII ?) and a 6309. I might give the CoCo 2
to the museum.
