Those RS CoCo owners seem to be rather fanatical.  I came across a page
describing how to hack in several megs of ram (like 2 or 4), and PPP
implelentations.

What really takes the cake though is C64 owners.  Multitasking OS and a
SCSI HD, all on an 8 bit toy.

To quote from http://singularcrew.hu/main.htm:

Today's high-tech is supported even by C64:
DD/HD 3.5" drive (1581, FD2000)
SCSI interface (Any CMD harddisk has it on-board)
16bit processor (SCPU-20MHz)
Memory expansions up to 16Mb (Ramlink, 1750, 1750XL, +60K, +192K)
IDE controler (IDE64 for any IDE HDD up to 2x8Gb, Atapi CD-Rom)
Stereo sound (second SID)
