The Coco could run Flex and OS-9! Could a VIC-20 or a C-64 ever
even DREAM of running stuff like that?

This is a question out of pure curiosity, I am not trying to be obtuse. What
was special about the CoCo that would allow it to run a multi-tasking OS vs.
the C64? Was there something intrinsic in the hardware (like some kind of
memory management stuff), or was it all just software?
