A Coco with lots of memory and good graphics is called an Atari St. Please, no flames! I have one of each (coco and ST), and the ST is a good upgrade for the coco. Both use Motorola processors, both will run OS9, both are inexpensive compared to equivalents, and both are popular home systems. It's hard to see Radio Shack making any more mods to the coco. But then, I was surprised when they made the coco 3, so who knows? -- Gerry Wheeler Phone: (519)884-2251 Mortice Kern Systems Inc. UUCP: uunet!watmath!mks!wheels 43 Bridgeport Rd. E.
