[Coco] Black CoCo 3 - WAS--> Another *WOW* auction at Ebay

[Rogelio Perea]

Well, my brain cells have been exposed to high intensity AM RF fields for
quite a while now so some memories are in a playfully constant fuzzy state.
But something's abuzz in there about Marty having seen or commented about a
black CoCo 3 prototype...

Any findings will be welcomed Allen
