[Coco] Back to the COCO

[Mark Marlette]

Ed and Jim both have good advice here. 
I just was contacted by a customer that plugged in a Orch-90 pak and his CC3 no longer works. 
Could be anything of course but highly coincidental  that his CC3 no longer works. 
Guessing the CPU is toast and that something in the pak blew the CPU.  
Happens more often that one thinks. :(  Regards,

Yes, just to put the Pro-Tector in in the first place…  :)

But, there is value in knowing you’re getting clean, buffered signals
at the cart port if you’re going to be plugging in all kinds of experimental
weirdness.  It may save some head-scratching…
