Kev,

How can a program (specifically, a device driver) tell how much memory a Coco 3
has?  Now I infer from your book that block #0 direct page $A3 is intended to
distinguish between a 128K and a 512K machine.  But what about the Disto memory
upgrade?  Have you hacked cc3go (or whatever) to code the existance of 1 Meg
memory into low memory?  What about Chris Burke's 256K machines?  Do you know
if he flagged that into low memory?
