Unfortunately the platform did not catch on. CoCo users who had never bothered with OS-9 had no compelling reason to adopt it. Some CoCo users felt loyalty to Tandy and thus migrated to Tandy's MS-DOS/PC machines, especially the Tandy 1000 series that offered CoCo-compatible joystick/mouse ports and which could use some other CoCo compatible accessories such as the Koala trackpad and some of the Tandy printers, modems, and external hard drives.

	Probably no more than 500 ~~units~~ were sold[https://thezippsterzone.com/mm-1/] and the company that built it folded shortly after.
