Does anyone out there in netland know about the 128K memory card for the
coco put out by RGS Micro inc.?  I just noticed their ad in Rainbow and
this month they have a picture of the card.  They claim it gives an extra
64k in two 32k banks using the PAL chip to do the bank switching which
at least sounds reasonable.  They also claim this card is a "must for
OS9 users".

Has anyone gotten one of these cards?  Can you really use that memory
from a level one OS9 system? (ie. memory management)  Their price for this
card is ~$150 and since it would allow me to have many of the OS9 utilities
and O-pak in "core" at the same time (making things much faster) I'm
rather interested.  Any comments?
