You mean 128K-512K, I think. The CoCo 3 needed 16 bit wide RAM for the
video system, and used either 4 off 64K*4 chips on the main board, or a
daughterboard with 16 off 256K * 1 chips on it. Some hackers went up to 2M

OS-9 is actually a lot more like Unix (at least to a user). There was a
graphical frontend called 'Multiview' (or some similar spelling) for OS-9
level 2, but you need a CoCo 3 and 512K to run that.
