| | TRS-80 Color Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Color Computer was a radical departure from the Z80-based TRS-80 Models I/II/III/4/4p with its Motorola MC6809E processor. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Home computers were mostly based on 8-bit microprocessor technology, typically the MOS Technology 6502 or the Zilog Z80. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | The TRS-80 Color Computer 1 was the Tandy Corporation's first color computer sold through its chain of Radio Shack stores geared for the home computer market. | | | The TRS-80 Color Computer 1, (nicknamed the 'CoCo' by loyal fans of the computer), was designed to penetrate the home market which at that time was heating up with more entries with color capabilities. | | | Tandy was an early participant in the micro- computer market with it's business line of computers, TRS-80 Models I, II, III, and IV. |

| | Mocha - A Java-Based TRS-80 Color Computer Emulation |
| | The TRS-80 Color Computer was Tandy's entry into the low-end home computer wars of the early 1980s, doing battle with the likes of the Commodore 64, Vic-20, TI-994a, Atari 400 and 800, and a whole bunch of lesser-known machines whose market lifespan lasted anywhere from a few years to a few weeks. | | | Mocha - A Java-Based TRS-80 Color Computer Emulation | | | There are still active user groups, trade shows and vendors for the machine (see the links section) and thanks to the magic of emulation there's no longer concern about spending hundreds on a machine that doesn't fulfill whatever hopes you may have had. |

| | I would do school reports about computers, play with computers at my parents’ friends houses, and if we were in the mall or any store with a computer section I was content for the visit. | | | This computer was my primary system through high school, where I added a 3.5″ floppy and a 10 Meg MFM hard drive. | | | With this computer I also learned the art of MP3’s and file sharing, and though this was 1997 and before such things were mainstream, it was a hot thing at TSTC. |
