[Coco] Remembering the Deluxe Color Computer....

[Steve Bjork]

I've trying to write down the story behind the never released Tandy's 
Deluxe Color Computer.  It almost hit the market with a one picture left 
in a Radio Shack catalog.  (The computer was removed just before going 
to print.)  The story from Tandy the Deluxe computer was dropped because 
of a limited supply on one or parts also used in the CoCo 2.

Even after having one for a short while, some of the details of unit are 
getting a bit fuzzy now a days.

Anyway, I remember the Deluxe CoCo having a true Double speed mode, real 
RS-232 port with UART, Sound Chip and RAM drive.  While it used the same 
graphics system, there was a bit that "shift" the colors for a new color 
palette.

Was the memory size on the it 64k or 128k and did it have any memory paging?

Do you remember anything else about the Deluxe Color Computer?

Thanks!

Steve
P.S. All those keyboards that Radio Shack stores sold are parts from the 
Deluxe CoCo first run.
