I upgraded my "E" board back in "the day." A little wire-wrapping and
lifting a pin or two on the 74LS02. It was my first CoCo upgrade and I
still remember how my heart was beating with fear that I might kill my
computer. I still have that machine, although it wears a J&R Banker
256k upgrade now. I know I still have the instructions for that
original 64k upgrade too, but just where in the midden heap is the question.
