[Coco] In need of a 1987 GIME

[Arthur Flexser]

The GIME version certainly seems like a prime suspect, though it is
possible that some other difference between the two CoCo 3s is
responsible.  This would certainly be the only time I've heard of a
commercially sold product for the CoCo that only worked properly with one
of the two GIME versions, assuming that that is in fact the explanation for
the different behavior.  You would think that such an anomaly would have
emerged during beta testing and that they'd have fixed the problem.

 If possible, try swapping the GIMEs between the two CoCo 3s and see if the
problem follows the '86 GIME.
