[Coco] CoCo 2 16k.. Upgrade or no?

[Chad H]

"?" is the CoCo abbreviation for "PRINT".  Both work the same.

On my 64K CoCo 2's, they both show 24,871 free MEM at bootup (22,823 with
Drive Controller in place)

I' reasonably sure the 8,487 is due to it being only 16K unit.  Keep in mind
though the numbers shown are only "free RAM", NOT total.

Thats interesting I don't remember the ?mem thing...


Can someone provide a list of the #'s and what they mean?


8487 means 16k?


I got 24871 on the coco2 I have on at the moment, does that mean it only has
48k?

Was just given a virgin CoCo2 26-3136.. It's apparently 16k, only shows 8487
from "?MEM".  I already have a spare 64k CoCo, don't really need this one.
I will probably put it up for sell.  Question though.would it be better to
leave it as is or perform a 64K upgrade to it?  I already have enough spare
RAM IC's and sockets and it already has ECB 1.1.
