[Coco] COCO 3 - FD501 - 50 tapes

[vonwinklekr at yahoo.com]

I did notice that, plugged it in the system and powered up fine. Need to check the drive and power supply before I plug it in.  

Real happy with what I got. I have another COCO3 with the Triad-512k board that is not yellowed at all as my main COCO. 

So I should have a clean COCO3 setup for Tandy assembly display.
