Actually, if you know your Coco computer, you can test its operational 
status without a monitor or TV.

After you have applied power, type (blind, of course): MOTOR ON and listen 
for the relay click. Now, this does not work on ALL coco computers, since 
some had a type of reed relay for the cassette port.
