[Coco] new mylar

[Bruce W. Calkins]

Back in "The Day" I replaced my CoCo 1s chicklet keyboard with a surplus 
keyboard.  I unsoldered the circuit board from the keys and hardwired the 
matrix.  It worked the first time!  My typing speed got a real boost too.  I 
wore out some keys and bought another surplus keyboard and redid that one. 
That one is still in my 256k Grey CoCo 1.  However it is difficult to find 
good keyboards that you can remove the circuit board from now-a-days.  Also 
you may need to modify the CoCo to fit the keyboard; subsequent keyboards 
might be harder to fit nicely.
