When I picked up my first Coco 3 at an estate sale it came with an "L" 
shaped plastic plate with 4 holes drilled for the MPI and computer plastic 
feet.  You plug the two units together and drop them into the holes and it 
locks things together very snugly.

Was this a "real" product back in the day or something that the previous 
owner cooked up?  Either way, it's a great idea.
