Just as an aside, I repacked a CoCo3 once with a 6" cable to an MPI,and it 
all worked fine. As a matter of fact,
the CoCo just recently got retired from the business that had it running. It 
chugged for 15 years with a B&B
hard disk controller and a Seagate 20 meg drive! BTW, the componants still 
work, the business just
thought it was time to "upgrade".
