[Coco] Re: Leaving "cocoland"

[Jim Cox]

Ever try buy a part for a classic car?  Having spent a lot 
of time and money in the comics speculating market, I can 
tell you it is either hit or miss.  Most of the time it's 
miss :(

If someone were to develop a cheap Disk Controller that 
worked with modern drives, and/or a CoCo replica that 
could use a PC's resources, then the bottom would fall out 
from under those who are buying up everything for purely 
speculative reasons.

Hopefully those who are buying the CoCo stuff on E-Bay are 
actually using it and know how to take care of it.
