I have done a little more commenting.
1.3:
A060 C6 04 LDB #$04 USE AS A MASK TO CHECK RAMSZ INPUT
A062 6F 1E CLR -2,X SET RAMSZ STROBE LOW
A064 E5 02 BITB 2,X CHECK RAMSZ INPUT
A066 27 06 BEQ $A070 BRANCH IF JUMPER SET
A068 A7 5B STA -5,U SET M0 OF SAM
A06A A7 55 STA -11,U SET P1 OF SAM
A06C 20 04 BRA $A072
A06E 12 NOP
A06F 12 NOP
A070 A7 5D STA -3,U SET M1 OF SAM
A072 6E A4 JMP ,Y GO DO A WARM OR COLD START
I am guessing that a CoCo 2 with version 1.3 of the ROM comes with a
SN74LS785 SAM and not a SN74LS783/MC6883 SAM.
So if the jumper is in place you have: 16K x 4 dynamic RAM.
If the jumper is clear you have: 64K x 1 dynamic RAM.
