[Coco] CoCo 1 & 2 Compatibility Question...

[Steve Batson]

Art,

My typo.. I meant incompatibility issues. I got a bunch of answers already on the Facebook page, the primary difference was the CoCo 2 doesn't have 12v on the Cartridge port, so some carts including old disk controllers wont work. A Multipak solves that issue.

I am aware there are differences between the CoCo 2 and 3, the question was focused on the 1 and 2 :)
