[Coco] Keyboard adapters

[Little John]

Sorry about that - I didn't notice it was integrated into the machine - The 
1000 that I have uses a normal detacheable keyboard - it's not one of the 
integrated units.

Speaking of which, aren't the 1000's pretty collectible due to their added 
video modes and such?

Anyway, I had a similar project, but I was going to take my White-Case CoCo 
1 and put a CoCo 3 into it, but then I was informed that the white case CoCo 
1's are pretty collectible, so instead I decided to use a grey case CoCo 1 
for the project (of course I'll be painting it white)... I haven't gotten 
around to doing this yet - but it's planned.
