[Coco] More and more...

I'm finding out that eBay is full of crooks and swindlers. I've bought 2
Cocos so far, and BOTH of them are junk. And sold "AS IS-no refunds".

 

Well, at least now I have a 26-3127 and a 26-3127B for parts. The 26-3127
chips are socketed, but I don't know about the 26-3127B. The seller has not
agreed to a refund, so I can't open it.  The 26-3127 is COMPLETELY dead-the
power supply has been disconnected, the attachment where the keyboard goes
into the motherboard is gone, the shield around the RF modulator is
shredded, and it looks like it's been shorted out. So like I said, I got
parts anyway (if ANY of them are still good). 

 

But it still doesn't look like I'll be able to join in the discussion about
Cocos after all. I've already spend all I can (and not get killed by my
wife-I hope, anyway.)
