[Coco] [Bulk] Re: Emulating a 1980 4K CoCo on PC, Mac, Linux, etc.

[Arthur Flexser]

I wonder how many people did as I did and piggybacked a 16K CoCo 1 with
another 16K to get a true 32K CoCo.

I later removed the piggybacked chips and went to 64K on my CoCo 1, working
from a diagram in the short-lived but excellent magazine Color Computer
News in an article by, I think, Frank Hogg.
