That is the animal David,
This brings out one other possible spotter's point. The B board seems to be
the only CoCo 2 to have Tandy on the front label, while the A board said
Radio Shack on the front label. Both the A and B CoCo 2s had the Tandy
label on the underside. At least my collection has been consistent on this
point along with the CoCo 2s I have passed close enough to look at. All
CoCo 3s appear to be Tandy branded. FWIW as near as I can tell, I have one
or more of every variant from the "D" board CoCo 1 through the CoCo 3 with
the exception of the white CoCo 1. Unfortunately time and space issues may
require some adjustments in my collections.
