[Coco] Another MPI on fleabay

[Bill Pierce]

The only thing I know that uses externl power in a Coco 3 are the 1 & 2 meg upgrades.
An internal fan can be driven from the Coco PSU (most are 5v).
My Coco 3 has 1 meg, Eagle AT keyboard interface and fan. The 1 meg is the only one with external PSU (12v I think). The fan and AT inteface are on the Coco's PSU

Oh, and it looks like the Coco 3 up for sale has, in addition to the
power 
cord, a wall-wart wired in to the Coco for some reason.

Looks like a
pretty big wall-wart to supply a fan.  I wonder what they have 
in that Coco.
Speculation anybody?
