[Coco] Serial Numbers

[Steve Ostrom]

Thanks for the info.  I think I'll start keeping track of these serial 
numbers and model numbers.  It looks like at least the Coco 3 started over 
in serial number sequence.  I have 31 Coco's of various ages, all stored 
away at a remote location (trying to get at least one of every model).  I'll 
get them out in the Spring and take an inventory.

Did the different mother board releases (D-board, E-board, etc.) coincide 
with the model numbers?  Might you see the same model number with different 
board releases?
