[Coco] Seeking ECB Rom in the US

[Kip Koon]

Sean,
I have some 2764s, 27128s and 27256s available, so just let me know which
version CB & ECB image you'd like if you just want to run Extended Color
Basic programs only.  
If you wish to also run Drivewire 4 server on your PC, then let me know
which version of HDBDOS Drivewire 3 combo Disk Basic rom image you'd like
and I can put it all in one eprom for you, that is if a 27256 eprom will
work?  It is a 28-pin package also.
It sounds like you may require some type of modification to use anything
bigger than a 27128.  Guys, since you all know which images work with his
Korean Coco 2B would you advise me as to which images to use to burn his
eprom with, I'd appreciate it.  
I was just perusing my rom images, and there are the Coco 3 roms that have
been modified to work in a Coco 2, maybe they will run in your Korean
Coco2B?  I think that the Disk rom is a straight DECB 2.0 though.  Then
there is also the HDBDOS with Drivewire 3 for the Coco 2.  
If this all comes together like I'm thinking, you could end up with DECB
modified with HDBDOS and DW3 all running out of one eprom over a serial link
to your PC's serial port to Drivewire 4 Server!  Now that sounds like a real
neat setup indeed.  
Now if we could come up with an easy modification for soldered in roms.
Hummm.  
Oh, I need to come up with a reasonable price for the eprom and burning so
if any of you could let me know your thoughts in private email, I'd
appreciate that too.  Thanks to you all.
Kip

Kip,
It is a US CoCo 2 that was manufactured in Korea. It's one of the really
late models. This "Greatly modified" option is intriguing. While mostly I'm
just interested in getting my old software library back using .cas images or
DriveWire, I'm not opposed to some hackery.

What kinds of modifications are there? And how much will you charge me to
burn the ROM? I don't have a EPROM to burn it to, so I'd have to buy one
either from you or elsewhere first.

I believe Art is right. It does have a 28 pin socket and I've read that it
is 2764 compatible.
