Where to buy Extended Basic ROM nowdays?

[prowler]

Hi All,

 

I have a PAL 26-3134a (korean) Coco2. I recently bought 2 x 4464 DRAM chips to expand it to 64k but would love to get a SDCard reader for it but will need the Extended Basic ROM. I was wondering if anyone still sells these? I don't have any of the equipment required to make my own

 

Thanks.

I cannot help source the Extended BASIC ROM, but I am very surprised that Tandy was still releasing systems without it as late as the Korean version of the Coco 2. I did not realise that any Coco 2s just had the Standard BASIC.

 

The price differential at retail must have been less than $20 by that point (unless there was a massive markup on the single chip).

Looking at catalogues from around the time this machine was released in Australia, there was a big enough difference between the two that it would have made a difference for the average person.
