Hey, that's what I'm planning to do with this "classic" Compaq
portable I got for free (stripped of everything but the motherboard
and floppy) -- I've got no use for 8088 systems, and all of the
documentation I have is on building a CoCo3 into an AT style case.
Since I've got a spare CoCo3 to work with (I've got 4, I love OS-9,
so I'll experiment with the one with the lowest Rev level and least
memory, then put in a _good one_).

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
