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?
