That said, the degree to which the CoCo used software where other computers used hardware was very impressive and allowed for some pretty neat modifications without even touching a soldering iron. Oh, and the Dragon 32 actually had 64K of RAM which you could unlock entirely from software (it took a buddy of mine a couple of months to figure out how to keep the computer running when enabling that upper 32K after I figured out that it had the extra memory).
