[Coco] Resurrecting a CoCo (26-3001) with a 26-3029 FDC.

[Ryan Pritchard]

So it looks like I have had 3 or 4 responses explaining I need to  
acquire an Extended Color Basic ROM for my CoCo, in order for me to be  
able to use the FDC.

Don't suppose any one has a spare one I could purchase?  Else I  
suspect I should be looking into eBay or Cloud-9 for a CoCo 2 or 3,  
which in some ways may be my better bet anyway for running NitrOS-9.   
But there is still that part of me that wants to take this machine  
from 16K to 64K with Extended Color Basic.
