[Coco] CoCoMax 3.5 Hi-Res / Hi-Res Adapter

[Tom Seagrove]

My recollection is, the switched version of the hi-res adapter was a mod to allow it to work with The Rat graphics package from Diecom that was sold with a modified hi-red adapter.  You could switch between normal hi-res and The Rat mode.

Max-10 came with a hardware lock that plugged into the cassette port and needed to be present to work.  It was dropped after the schematic was published in the Rainbow.

CoCoMax 3 may have needed the hi-red interface, can't remember.

The standard Tandy interface won't work with CoCo Max 3 or Max-10 without
modding it with the switch that Robert mentions.
Though I also vaguely remember patched versions that might have.
I also think Color Max 3 worked with the standard Tandy interface.
