[Coco] further adventures with plug'n'power/x10

[Little John]

The CoCo 2 PNP Controller cart cannot work on the CoCo 3 at all as it uses a 
semigraphics mode not supported by the GIME chip. Some of the Mark Data 
Games used these modes as well and are hopeless on the CoCo 3 (the Pac Attac 
games for example)
.
