[net.micro.atari] Coleco architecture

kester@houxq.UUCP (02/15/84)

Few questions about Coleco game unit:

1. What is the CPU chip in Coleco? and What is the CPU chip in
   Atari?
2. I would like to know the memory map configuration of Coleco.
3. People told me that the Coleco cartridge interface has R/W, data and
   adress lines. Is this true, and what else is included in the
   interface?
4. What is the reason for Coleco to use a 32 K segment?
5. I also heard that the Coleco game software on ROM has to be
   loaded into the main unit RAM first in order to be executed. 
   Is this statement true? If so, why?

Please send reply to me by mail. I will summarize if there is enough
interest.
