Looked up the model number on this coco 2 and found this

26-3134B

This is the last Korean 16K Color BASIC model. It uses the #20261058 circuit 
board, which is similar to the #20261044 board. It uses two 4416 RAM chips 
and a 24-pin Color BASIC 1.3 ROM in a 28-pin socket as well. However, in 
addition to the 4416/4464 sockets and special daughterboard connectors, 
there are pads on the board allowing direct factory installation of eight 
4164 chips. This is also the board which contains the newer 6847T1 VDG chip 
(which is not pin-compatible with the earlier 6847).

so it can be updated to extended basic and 64k memory? is this stuff still 
out there? if so where could one find this?
