You could say I'm a fan of the TRS-80 CoCo!

Post by Danniielle »

It all started for me in the early 80's when my dad took me to my local Tandy Electronics store (Aussie version of Radio Shack) and bought me a shiny new TRS-80 CoCo 1. I spent much of my spare time learning programming on that computer and I still have it and still use it!

This is how it is today with its recent upgrades which include CoCoVGA, CoCoSDC and 64k RAM badge and the upgrades I did in the 80's which include 64k RAM (upgraded from 16k) and a proper CoCo 2 keyboard to replace the chicklet keyboard it came with.

I now also have two more CoCo 1s, three CoCo 2s and three CoCo 3s!

My three CoCo 3s. The one on the left is a CoCo 3 I have grafted into a TRS-80 Model 4 case. I call it my CoCo D.

My small case CoCo 2 was given to me as a 50th birthday present from the crew at the Adelaide Retro Computer Group.

Here's all my CoCos together.

Here's a wider shot of my CoCos and my other 8 bit computers in my retro room with my laser flux capacitor which I'm still building.
