Re: Help on Breaking the 64KB Barrier on the Coco 2

I'd like to go beyond the 64KB barrier. I'd want it to be compatible with NitrOS-9 Level II. I read somewhere on the internet that a different memory management scheme had been created for the COCO 1 & 2 that had a driver written for OS-9 that used some type of bank switching scheme. Any thoughts? Kip Hello all, I have just finished working on an expansion upgrade for my coco 1 which I designed and built in 1985 to be used as a ram drive. It opens up a page sized window (256 bytes) anywhere in memory dynamically. I haven't written any OS9 software for it but I plan to. If anybody is interested I will try to take some pictures and post some schematics for it. If interest is great enough I may consider making and selling the thing....
