As I understand it (I don't have a coco tech. manual yet), the coco's
cartridge slot makes available the 6809 address and data lines as well as
some control lines used for selecting cartridges in the multi-cartridge
adaptor box.  Would it be possible to add additional memory in those
cartridge slot locations?  It shouldn't be too hard to write such a thing
for OS-9.  Is this a worthwhile idea?

A few weeks ago someone out at Microsoft mentioned that he was writing a
device driver for a hard disk for the coco.  Whatever became of that project?
