[Coco] Buyer beware

[Bruce W. Calkins]

Was the RF shield covering the caged in area where the CPU, VGA, SAM and 
memory chips are?

You should have needed to pull it out of there to get those pictures.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it was probably left out somewhere 
in it's past.  This supports the dead prior to sale concept.



Also, it would be a poor fit to put a CoCo 2 mainboard in the CoCo 1 case. 
Not impossible, but you would need to "re"-locate the mounts.
