[Coco] OS-9 coco2b lowercase

[L. Curtis Boyle]

It might be... I seem to recall that the 2B was also the only Coco 2 that used the 4464 (2 chips) vs. the 4164 (8 chips) for the older Coco 2's, and I think that required a small upgrade to BASIC to cover RAM refresh or something like that. So, that might be a good test (assuming only Coco 2B's used the 4464 chips).

If you are running OS-9/NitrOS9, you should be able to patch the VDG driver to keep this mode on at all times as well (somebody did do that way back for OS-9 Level 1, version 2.x, from what I remember).
