Ssorry. I din't know that. Anyway, it wasn't intended as an insult. I just
thought since I usually hear you talking about Gimix systems, that it was your
first system. I still have a gray dinosaur myself, but my Rainbows don't go
back as far as yours. Guess you been round longer. Ok you win. Maybe not. I
forgot, I have Thunder Ram on my CC 1. It was a 256K ram board that allowed you
to have 4 separate 64k basic banks running. But only 1 bank would actually be
running a program at a time. The other 3 would just sit there waiting to be
mapped in . Wwhat a neat idea WAY back then, but the true applications for that
were somewhat limited ( actually it wuz just our imaginations that were
limited). Thanks to Chris Erving, Thunder Ram wuz made possible. I wonder what
happedened to him. I used to see him at the Color Aamerica meetings, but then
he defected to the Amiga crowd. I guess he was entitled to it. He helped
stretch the coco 1's capabilities several times. Aanybody know where Chris is
or what he is doing ????? TC
