The site makes an interesting read, but we are already doing quite a bit 
more than that, particularly in the multitasking area, with nitros9.
Hard drives have been usable for nominally 20 years, including automatic 
booting from them for a good decade.

This corresponds nominally to os9 level one where the machine only had 64k 
and no memory management.  CoCo3's can now have up to 2 megabytes of ram 
for starters, and Paul Barton's rig had 8 megs IIRC.
