ScuzzBlog: Diaries July 2018 Entry 15th July 2018: Post 01: TRS-80 Color Computer 1 TRS-80 Color Computer 1 TRS-80 Color Computer 1 made by the Tandy Corporation Uses Color BASIC 1.0/2.0/)S-9 Running on a Motorola 6809E at 0.895 MHz This machine was sometimes called the CoCo first produced in 1980. The computer was a departure from the earlier models choosing to utilise the Motorola 6809E processor rather than the Zilog Z80. The bigger issue is that the computer is not compatible with the software of the earlier models. The earlier versions of the computer had the label to the left side and the RAM badge on the case. Mine still has the black surround to the keyboard but the badge is central. The keyboard is a calculator style 'chiclet keyboard'. Color BASIC is provided by Microsoft. The computer uses a TV for display. Interestingly the 80 in TRS-80 relates to the Zilog Z80 even though this computer does not utilise that. TRS-80 Color Computer 1 Its a new day and a new camera... I decided not to clean the keyboard without first investigating what the material is. Back in store now.
