[Coco] Weird CoCo3 problem...

[Brian Blake]

Well Gene (and I think Mike also), you were right. It's fixed. Got the 74LS138 in the mail yesterday, installed today and was playing Donkey Kong a few minutes later.

Glad I could help.  And the PBJ board is ok for a memory boost, but I found 
the 2 meg disto kit, using more modern simm type drams but cmos, draws 1/10 
the power of the PBJ.  Virtually no heat with a 63C09 in the cpu socket.  
Mine runs on an old pc power supply with all the shack parts removed, and I 
can toss furniture blankets over it for a day at a time, 2F temp rise right 
over the middle of the grill where the memory sits.  The GIME is by far the 
hottest chip in mine.
