enhancements available through "User EEPROM".
- Basic4.5.html

- CoCo5-Memory-Management.html
Note: This description of how the CoCo5 handles memory is vital to
the implementation of the features of the CoCo5.
- CPU.no.0.html
Also known as the eXecutive Supervisory Controler does not
run legacy CoCo programs but rather is in charge of coordinating all
other systems on the CoCo5.
- CPU.no.1.html
Also known as the System Hardware Coordinator or CoCo Blue depending on
it's mode. In the first mode it acts as a helper to CPU#0 allowing more
hardware options for the two virtual coco's, while in the second mode
hardware options are more limited but a third virtual CoCo " CoCo Blue"
is available.
- Executive-SettingsCTRL-Interface.html

links to more details.

using [RightSHIFT], arrows and the mouse keys or it may be a USB
scroll mouse.
- SystemUpdates.html
This page describes how system
updates are done.
