[Coco] calling all MM/1 owners

[Bob Devries]

Mark,
Even if I hold the MM/1's reset button until I feel sure the drive is 
properly initialised, it still locks up the SCSI bus.

Another niggling problem which has just been recalled to my memory (I just 
saw it happen) is that occasionally the computer comes up in weird screen 
colours instead of those set in the INIT module.

These problems are of course very minor, but detract somewhat from an 
otherwise perfectly working unit.

BTW has anyone thought of doing an MM/1 (or similar) emulator?
