Meh! The article was a let down! I was at the edge of my sea with the communications problem with the cassette recorder and then the guy goes to the bathroom, solves it and now I am reading the next part of the article!


What was the problem? How did he solve it? Since it seems that he solved it looking at a listing, I assume it was a software problem? :-)

 Not a lot about the coco but interesting to see how it all started and how Mr French played a role in it all

Wow, a whole one sentence about the CoCo!  To save searching for it, here
it is:

"Introduced at the same time as the Model III, the Color Computer was
Tandy’s answer to the popularity of the Commodore Vic-20 as an inexpensive
computer for home use."

Why'd we need Boisy and Bill's book?
