This episode is part 2 of a 3-part series on the Tandy Color Computer, also known as the CoCo.  I have special guest hosts to help me this month: John Linville and Neil Blanchard of the “CoCo Crew Podcast”.  Join us as we discuss Coco tech specs, peripherals and pulling it out of the box.   I also go over my new acquisitions, a short overview of VCF Midwest 10 that occurred on August 29 & 30, tell you about upcoming vintage computer shows and cover some podcast feedback.   Links Mentioned in the Show:   Intro “CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy's Underdog Computer” by Boisy G Pitre, Bill Loguidice - http://www.amazon.com/dp/1466592478/?tag=flodaypod-20 New Acquisitions Atlanta Historical Computing Society (AHCS) - http://atlhcs.org/ HP-85B - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_series_80 VCF Midwest 10 - http://vcfmw.org/ Peter Bartlett’s Model I System Expander (MISE) - http://bartlettlabs.com/ Ian Mavric’s FreHD Hard Drive Emulator - http://ianmav.customer.netspace.net.au/trs80/emulator News - Upcoming Shows AmiWest 2015 - http://www.amiwest.net/ 10/14 - 10/18, 2015, Holiday Inn Express, Sacramento, CA Chicago TI International World Faire - http://www.chicagotiug.com/tiki-index.php?page=Faire October 31, 2015, Evanston, IL World of Commodore - http://www.tpug.ca/category/woc/ 12/4 - 12/6, 2015 VCF SE 4.0 - April 2-3, 2016 Interview CoCo Crew Podcast - http://www.cyberears.com/index.php/Show/audio/6139
