The 2 meg upgrade available by Disto is very stable.  I've been running it on
my CoCo 3 for the last 8 months with zero problems.  BTW, I keep my 2 meg CoCo 3
running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

There are no disadvantages, and I doubt anyone would disagree with me.  It works
with OS-9 and RS-DOS.  There are patches available which allows OS-9 Level Two
to take advantage of the new instructions and extra registers of the 6309.

Dunno about this, but SCSI is an excellent choice for a CoCo hard drive system.
Ken-Ton makes a fine SCSI interface, and Seagate SCSI drives are relatively
cheap now-a-days.
