| Coco 2 ( Model Number: 26-3003 B ) - 04 |
The TRS 80 Color Computer 2 (coco2) replaced the Color Computer "Model 1" in 1983. It has the same characteristics than the Model 1 but has a better keyboard and a more integrated circuitry. There were several models of the Coco2, some with only 8k ROM (Color Basic) called Standard Color Computer 2, and others with 16k ROM (Extended Color Basic) called the Extended Color Computer 2. Some later models differ also in RAM capacity (16k, 32k or 64k). It was replaced with the TRS-80 color model III in 1986. (www.old-computers.com) |

Coco 2-04: Bought in Schepdaal (Brussels), together with lots of other stuff on 11/07/2002. This is a list of the things I bought in Schepdaal: Tandy TRS80 Model III 16Kb RAM Tandy TRS80 Coco2 16Kb Ram (26-3026) Tandy TRS80 Coco2 64Kb Ram (26-3003B) Tandy multi pak interface Double disk drive and lots of diskettes Datasette with lots of cassettes Lots of cartridges 2 Tandy Deluxe and 1 other joystick Tandy Mouse 2 Self made kits (80 column screen and disk drive interface) Videopac G7000 26 Videopacs C7010 Chess Module C7420 Home Computer Module Some Manuals Paid 100€ Actually this collection was a tip from the guy in Wervik, he didn’t have the time to go to Schepdaal and so we made a deal. I would buy the stuff and give him the Videopac with the games. One problem though: the videopac didn’t work, I gave him one of mine and I got a Tandy TRS80 200 Laptop. Good Guy ! When I unpacked everything I noticed I didn’t got the Chess and Home Computer Module. I collected them on 15/07/2002 |
