To Tandy CoCo / connector header enthusiasts...
Does anyone know where I can get new versions of these 12-pin connectors?
They are used in the Tandy Color Computer 3 for the RAM module expansion ports.
Notice how the pins are offset from the header socket - this is why I cannot simply replace them with new modern headers (as I was intending to).
Original part number from RS was AJ-7619, according to the service manual.
Okay, no more suspense... it's something a little different from my recent adventures...
CoCo Question: Is there ANY reason to keep a CoCo2, since I've gotten a CoCo3 with everything it needs? I really don't see a reason for keeping both. Thoughts?
Not sure if modded or wishful thinking... #retrocomputing #tandy #coco #colorcomputer #coco3
Excited to get my first Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) 3! These are in high demand & a little hard to find at a reasonable price. They routinely sell for $500 or more. #coco3 #retrocomputing
Turbo #Rascal (#TRSE) IDE and compiler has added support for the CoCo3 6809-based computer. It's worth noting that the support for the 6809 CPU architecture is new for TRSE, the author has requested feedback from experienced #CoCo3 developers to improve the code generated by the compiler.

today's experiment: reading #tandy600 disk from #coco #os9 on my #coco3
The command pcdos reads/writes msdos disks from NitrOS9 or patched OS9LII.
pcdos -dir /d2
got a valid directory listing off the t600 disk.
pcdos -get /d2 rant01.wrd rant01.wrd
read the file off the t600 disk and saved it to a file.
But pcdos -get /d2 basic.!55 basic.!55
fails! Why? "!" is a reserved character in shell and there's no escaping! oops!
