Hey, I think the fog is clearing. Seems we had the 4K model, which was
upgraded to 16K shortly after we got it. I got extended color basic for
my birthday, which required 32k, so we must have done the stack with
that. Later we had memory problems and moved to 64K...which would
explain why I'm having flashbacks of 8 (or 9) piggyback chips with some
extra leads between them sitting on a shelf in my dad's workroom, since
he never throws anything away.
I'm going to check around home, seems I remember coming across the
instructions for the upgrade somewhere...
If I remember right the coco 3 also required piggybacking rams too since
the real upgrading required chips that where very pricey and hard to
find.The few coco 3 hackers left are adding IDE drives and several megs
of memory.
