![]() ![]() "Tandy FD-502 Disk Drive Controller" with "Disk Extended BASIC" and 4 configurable virtual disk drives."Tandy MultiPak Interface" or "MPI" with 4 expansion slots.VCC directly models the "stock" 128k Coco 3 and is expandable to many levels that were available by Tandy and 3rd party vendors. Finally in 1986 Tandy release the final model, the "Tandy Color Computer 3" or "Coco 3" with 128k of memory (expandable to 512k), and "Super Extended Color BASIC" with expanded high resolution graphics with up to 16 colors from a palette of 64 colors. This machine was the "Tandy Color Computer 2" or "Coco 2", which went through several revisions and came in 16k Color BASIC & 64k Extended Color BASIC models. Several motherboard revisions were released with the Silver Coco 1, until Tandy upgraded to a completely new design with a smaller footprint and slightly more modern circuitry (for the time). Also relesed by Tandy was the Disk Drive unti for 5.25' Floppy disks, which along with 64k of memory, allowed it to run Microware's "OS-9 Level 1" for the 6809 processor. Eventually the memory was exapnded from 4k to 16k which allowed the use of "Extended Color BASIC", then 32k, then finally 64k. Programs could be run from cassette tape. The Color Computer 3 (or the "Coco 3" as it was known by it's users) was the final iteration in a series of computers starting with the "TRS-80 Color Computer" (also known as the "Coco 1") in 1980 with it's 4k of RAM, Non-Extended Color BASIC, and expansion slot for Game & Software Cartridges. ![]() ![]() VCC is an accurate emulation of a "stock" Tandy Color Computer 3 just as you would have bought in a Radio Shack store or Tandy Computer Center in 1986-1992 COLOR COMPTER 3 EMULATOR MAC WINDOWS 10VCC - Virtual Color Computer An emulation of tThe Tandy Color Computer 3 for Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, & Windows 10 ![]()
