[Coco] I´ve got my CoCo 3!

[Fedor Steeman]

Yeah, Marcus, don't despair yet! I have had CoCo3's failing on me for years
only to magically spring back to live again. I only heard recently that this
may be the solution. Actually, it happened to me again, so I will try the
"reset-GIME trick" now too...

Cheers,

Fedor
