[Coco] Most expensive coco1

[Robert Hermanek]

Yes those HJL keyboards are nice.  My childhood coco 1 had that 
keyboard, and then we "upgraded" it to 32k and added extended basic, but 
the extended basic was an eeprom with a flaw in the burn so the MID$ 
statement didn't work (function was fine.)  Then we put a composite out 
on the back.  And then I lost track of it... how does that happen?

A few years ago I found it on eBay, but didn't have enough money at the 
time to respond to their "buy it now," so it's lost again... so if any 
of you have a coco1+HJL+composite out, then type a program in and see if 
it hangs on the MID$ statement.  If it does, send me a ransom note :)
