Good straight man you are.  Chris did indeed say that his universal
PC adapter was aimed at folks who like to repackage their Cocos
into PClone cases.  I persoanlly know at least two guys who have
done this, and at least one of thee systems is working ;-).

A major advantage of the PC adapter may be that you can now
repackage WITHOUT having to either cram the MPI motherboard into
the system or soldering all your paks to the bus.
Both are messy, destructive operations that keep all but
the [fool]hardiest of hackers from repackaging.
That could change.
