Actually, the motherboard of the Aussie cocos were quite different. In the
coco 3, the orientation of the CPU was at right angles to the USA one, and a
small daughter board was mounted underneath to house the RGB to PAL
composite circuitry.

The earliest of the Coco 1 units to come to Australia, were re-powered USA
versions, but with a modification to increase the number of scan lines from
525 to 625 lines.
