[Coco] Coco 1 263-3001 just goes to 'ok' prompt when turned on

[Arthur Flexser]

Interesting.  It does make sense that cold temperatures might cause
greater memory persistence in RAM chips, which would explain the
problem going away when the machine was warmed up.  Just like cold
weather stiffening your fingers!

Glad nothing more than reaching a comfy temperature was required to
fix your new CoCo 1.

Also what I thought was a 16k machine appears to be a 64k machine after getting 24781 with print mem. Also, this coco appears to have belonged to the RCMP at one time. There's a sticker on the bottom stating such.
