[Coco] The CoCo outside of the U.S.

[Simon Jonassen]

Hello Boisy...

I have a PAL coco II (allbeit a koko with the T1 chip)

Bought and paid for from a local Tandy store in the UK in 84/85....

So the coco2 was marketed outside the US, manuals were all in english....

/Simon :-)

Emne: [Coco] The CoCo outside of the U.S.

I want to tap into the collective knowledge of the list here, especially
those outside of the U.S. who are members and who owned Color Computers back
in the day.

In the upcoming book, Bill and I want to touch a bit on CoCo as it existed
outside of the U.S. There's the issue of clones, which is a different topic
and not what I'm looking to discuss at the moment.

My understanding is that there were different subsidiaries of Tandy in
different countries setup to handle Radio Shack store sales there. Canada
had InterTan. Who did Australia have?  Europe?

It also appears that international CoCo sales started with the CoCo 2, then
carried on with the CoCo 3. I know that a PAL version of the CoCo 3
 what
about a CoCo 2? And were there any other languages that the BASIC manual was
printed in besides English?
