I need to be perfectly clear, I obtained the main board for a COCO3 in
perfect working condition from a friend of mine who repairs electronics,
mainly Amiga computers in his case. The board was in a special custom unit
which was built for a custom application. The person had used the COCO3
main board for the brains of this custom application and had built a
specialized "cartridge" to do what the box did. I rescued the COCO3
mainboard from this unit and it works perfectly and has absolutely no signs
of wear and tear on the circuit board itself.
I DID NOT buy the board from Cloud 9. I had contacted them to try to get
the case and power supply to rebuild the COCO3 and he declined to sell me
the parts, ergo, I am looking for the case and power supply for a COCO3 :-)
I have the keyboard thanks to another person who had one.
So currently, I have a working COCO 3 main board and keyboard and I am still
seeking the other parts.
I have nothing against Mark and company, they have a right to make money and
so forth, but he can not or will not help me in this case.
If you have a case and power supply to sell, please do contact me off-list.
