[Coco] Coco KB membrane replacement

[Ron]

Hi Salvador,

Jim Brain has been doing the research and I believe his focus has been 
on the Coco 3.  I'm hoping there's a way to make a replacement 
compatible with both or offer 2 different ones.  No matter what, we want 
to keep the cost as low as possible.

Let's see if Jim can respond...
