=================================

The early "F" board CoCo 1s had a timing issue that was initially thought to 
be heat related.  Although my thinking is that the white ones were the last 
run of the CoCo 1 and that problem should have been addressed.



Those vent holes are over the transformer and power supply chips, so they 
would vent the worst of the heat, not that a CoCo had much to vent though.
