[Coco] Using Velcro to secure CoCo and MPI

[Bob Devries]

Jim,

I see no reason why velcro can't be used for this, however, it would have to 
be (a) thin enough so that it would not interfere with the connection, and 
(b) be securely mounted on both the coco and MPI so that it could not be 
detached by pulling the two apart. Some velcro comes with self-adhesive 
backing. I would not consider this to be secure enough; at least, I'd add 
something like a pop rivet or screw to hold it in place. I would put the 
velcro between the mating faces of the coco and MPI. I think the MPI has 
some rubber bumpers there already. You may want to remove those.

My $0.02
