CoCo2 - Upgraded from 16K to 64K, one last question
So I got My 26-3134 Coco2 with 16k yesterday and of I course changed the Ram from the 4517's for 4164 and a jumper on J1 soldered in and voila 64K Coco2 but Still "Colour basic 1.2" with an empty ext basic ROM slot.
Now the Manual does stipulate that the Disk Extended Colour Basic 1.1 is a Part no. 8042364A (MC68A364) SCM92135P IC on IC13
I have a Coco 1 'for parts' with the "Disk Extended Colour Basic 1.1" ROM on it, part no. 8042364 (MCM68A364) SCM90522P IC on U28
Questions:
Is the Ext 1.1 identical in COCO 1 & 2? or should I burn a different 1.1 ROM for COCO2?
Attempt:
I have put it in, and it does boot in Disk Extended Colour Basic 1.1, and I have played a few games, and it loads "sailor man" just fine as well as others.
but I worry it may be just luck at this point.
I just want to make sure it is the right part that goes into this machine, any thoughts or suggestions?
