TRS-80 Color Computer



The TRS-80 Color Computer - affectionately dubbed the "CoCo" by its fanbase - is a series of computers produced by Tandy (aka Radio Shack) from 1980 to 1991. Despite the similar name, it was completely different from the earlier TRS-80 line, so it was not backwards compatible with it at all.

As it was a popular machine, the CoCo received a number of unofficial clones in Asia and Latin America. It also had a "cousin" of sorts across the pond in the Dragon 32, a machine with near-identical hardware but a wholly different ROM, so compatibility between them was only partial.
