TRS-80
COLOR COMPUTERS ITEMS:
(Coco
1, 2, 3 - 1981-1989)
Tandy's
answer to the TV-connected home-computing market the TRS-80 Color
computer was a relatively popular computer powered by a Motorola 6809 processor
made it the programmers machine of choice for the time. As the series progressed through the years a
better keyboard and 64k memory was added (Coco 2) and finally more memory
(128K-512K) and graphics enhancements to the final computer (Coco 3) made this
a pretty useful computer. Popular with
people who liked to build up systems gradually by adding accessories, the Coco
is also very robust. I rarely see
non-running machines.
All
my Coco systems are checked over, tested extensively and repaired as
necessary. They come with a 90 day
warranty, just like Tandy used to offer, and friendly after-sales assistance
should something go wrong after the 90 days is up.

TRS-80
Color Computer 16K Extended Basic
US
120V NTSC Coco 1 (cat. no. 26-3002) with 16K Ram and Extended Color Basic. But the
best thing about this computer is the upgraded keyboard. This one is $A149.00 and is 120V/60Hz operation so requires
one of those cheap step-down transformers to run. (Your TV needs to have the ability
to display NTSC.)

TRS-80
Multi-Pak Interface for Coco 1
Also
works with Coco 2 or 3, but this is the silver painted model designed to look
correct with a Coco 1. Allows you to
connect multiple cartridge interfaces to the Coco. These were super expensive when new and
silver ones were not even sold in Australia.
This one is $A249.00 and is 120V/60Hz operation so requires
one of those cheap step-down transformers to run.
