This only applies for Color Computers issued after the CoCo 1 F Board (as shown) RS catalog 26-3004 and subsequent models (CoCo 2 & 3). Early editions of the CoCo 1 had not a mylar ribbon cable like this but a heavier ribbon composed of actual wires, the connector they went into was also built for this type of ribbon. The keyboards on each category of connecting ribbon are sadly not interchangeable.
