Hi folks, couldn't afford a CoCo 3 as they are now over 300$ and often miss the keys. May be I'll try to use CoCo3FPGA project, as I have an Altera DE2 board.
I did manage to buy local an excellent condition very first edition of CoCo 2.
As I understand, I can upgrade it from 16K to 64K by swapping 4116 for 4164 and soldering some wire? Are there guides with pictures?
And there is an Extended Basic I can put in an empty socket? Is it 2764 eprom? Again, is there a guide?
I did find this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6a0ZsV7OO8, so may be I'll be able to follow through.
Can I load something from the tape like ZX Spectrum or MSX? Or is CoCo 2 disk only?
What are my options for disk drive? I want something modern with SD card ideally.
Please help, thank you!
