| | TRS-80 Color Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This new model of the Color Computer line was meant to better compete with the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST systems. | | | The Tandy Color Computer Resource Site has many links to information on the Color Computer. | | | The original version of the Color Computer shipped in a large silver-gray case with a calculator-like "chiclet keyboard," and was available with a memory sizes of 4K (26-3001), 16K (26-3002), or 32K (26-3003). |

| | Home computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | TRS-80 Color Computer II The home computer is a consumer-friendly word for the second generation of microcomputers (the technical term that was previously used), entering the market in 1977 and becoming common during the 1980s. | | | As many older computers have become obsolete it has become popular amongst enthusiasts to enable one type of computer to emulate another via the use of emulation software. | | | Home computers were mostly based on 8-bit microprocessor technology, typically the MOS Technology 6502 or the Zilog Z80. |

| | TRS-80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This short-lived and little-known Tandy computer was similar in appearance to the Sinclair ZX81. | | | A version of the computer was produced which replaced the nameplate with a numeric keypad. | | | Company management was unsure of the computer's market appeal, and intentionally kept the initial production run to 3,000 units so that, if the computer failed to sell, it could at least be used for accounting purposes within the chain's 3,000 stores. |
