Thanks so much for all the input, everyone.  Based on your suggestions, it does indeed look like I have a CoCo3!  It's in great shape and I'm very happy with the purchase.  I'm ready to start playing with it.  (Maybe the new 512K board:)

This is a great, involved list and everyone is so helpful.

thanks, again.

The keyboard has the arrow keys in a group and a F1 and F2 key.  If it does not have these ports and keys, then you probably have something else, possibly a relabeled CoCo 2.  If it is relabeled, it might not be the sellers action, but that would be hard to prove.
