That is a nice setup; I don't think I've ever seen a complete "gray 
case" system before (before now, I didn't even know the MPI was 
available in the gray case). My exposure to the CoCo started with the 
white-case CoCo 2 w/ 16K; I knew of the gray-cased CoCo (my jr high had 
a couple), but they were connected to tape decks, no floppy drives. 
That, and pictures in the Rainbow.

It's a very fair price (he could probably easily get the $200.00 from a 
collector if the stickers weren't on). I'm almost tempted to bid on it - 
but I don't have the room to put it anywhere! LOL.
