Hi,

To me the definition of a CoCo 4 is:

A user system actually made and sold to a significant number of persons so 
that software developers will write software for it.

The MM1 met that definition and then died, perhaps due to design decisions.

It is hard to follow the CoCo which you connected up a TV or monitor, 
connect the power cord and start enjoying.

We have many persons who can program down to the bare machine level and 
build hardware.

I do not think that the number of persons not able do this wanting to buy a 
system where the real sales numbers are, will do so.
