VicViper Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 With the new release of JOUST, I've realized alot of the best stuff for CoCo3 needs 512K of RAM. a quick Google turned up the boomerang boards that looked super easy, but that gentleman doesn't seem to be making them any more. What are my options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I thought another company was going to take over production/sales of the Boomerang. Couldn't find it for sale anywhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I will be making a final batch of 512K and 2 Meg boards and will be available in October. I will be announce details at VCF Midwest in Chicago this weekend. Moreover, I will be attending CoCoFEST in November. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdFurgeson82 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) boysontech Have you already did the final batch of 512k boards? Edited October 5, 2021 by TurdFurgeson82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG7PFS Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Excuse me for interupting, but is it normal for NitrOS-9 to crash when I boot with a 2 meg board if I have'nt installed the driver yet? BTW VicViper, I've heard that some games require a patch to work with a 2-meg board. I think it's worth having the extra RAM, but if you get a 2 meg and something doesn't work, it might be that.

I ultimately went with the 512K Triad board, install was a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really knows his stuff. I am using his RAM upgrade and Hard Drive controller, and PS2 keyboard adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
