The Disk Basic ROM is the only one where "pretty much everything is
moved around". The Color Basic and Extended Basic ROMS keep almost
everything in the same location, and have only minor patches applied.

The CLOAD code which Aaron's program copies is identical in all
versions of the Color Basic ROMS (1.0 - 1.3) and in CoCo 3 ROM.  So
yes, it will likely work on any CoCo with at least 32K RAM.

Here is a version that should work on CoCo's with 16K RAM:

1  CLEAR 20, 16099
2  FOR X = 42136 TO 42301
3  POKE X-26036, PEEK(X)
4  NEXT X
5  POKE 16175, 33
6  EXEC 16100
