[Coco] Hot Coco Sept 1985 - Banker memory upgrade

[Bill]

According to Hot Coco Sept 1985 p31, listing 1 is a POKE routine that tests
the memory

listing 2 is an assembly language routine that demos how to initialize the
upper 4 banks of RAM memory

listing 3 switches upper banks and alters prompts to indicate which bank is
being used. It MUST be used with the assembled version of listing 2

listing 4 generates a machine language program that lets you copy an entire
Tandy-format disk on a single drive machine without swapping disks.

Program 1 pokes the B256.bin program into memory and tests the banks.
Program 2 is an assembly language listing - it doesn't work in BASIC.  You
need an editor/assembler to create the program and then you can save it to
disk or tape and later load it into ram by issuing "loadm b256.bin" or
"cloadm 256.bin".  That will allow you to use the banker with your own
software.  Program 3 demonstrates how to switch banks in a BASIC program so
you can adapt it to your own software.  Program 4 looks like it pokes
B256.bin into ram and allows you to savem it.
