[Coco] 512k upgrade for coco3

[Walter Miraglia]

Ok I thought so,  but i was looking at the schematic and thought, perhaps
because the ram in my 512k upgrade was dynamic, it too required the little
caps to remain... i was just looking for a reason as to why the 512k ram up
grade i have is flakey :)

ok i will have to pursue other avenues...

ok i wont have to order 82pf caps unless i give up on 512k :)

thanks for your reply. :)
