I'd have to express some rather strong doubts. The CoCo 2/3 case was
essentially a streamlining of the CoCo 1 case, configured for the
non-chicklet keyboard and smaller mainboard. Point me to a specific
patent number -- I'm not saying it's impossible, but I was at Tandy
at the time and heard no rumors of deals with Commodore.

Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
