[Coco] Looking for a Color Computer 1

Wed Nov 23 22:22:02 EST 2005

I'm looking for a color computer 1 (silver case)  to round out my collection.  I would be interested in modifying it  to 64k extended.  I just missed one on ebay, expanded to 64k  extended with a snazzy aftermarket keyboard.  I am currently  watching a 16k standard right now on Ebay.  What would I need to  get ahold of to expand this thing on out.  
  Thanks
  Spent most of the day going through my old 5 1/4 floppies, reliving age  14.  Is there anyway to copy these on a PC without adding extra  wear and tear on my aging 501?

  Thanks.  Even though I've owned one since 1984, my COCO kungfu is  not strong compared to all of you.  Thanks ahead of time for the  help

Hi Fellow coconuts

heres a few other RSDOS games and utilties that used 512k when installed.

The Magic Zanth(used 512k as a ramdisk, to speed up disk play).
Wild Wild West(used 512k as a ramdisk, to speed up disk play).
Nuke the love boat(same as the top 2).
Barbarian Quest by Sportsware , needed 512k
512k basic by Microcom
copy512k and back512k, used 512k for faster disk operations.

viva la coco

Over the top, maybe, or he's just a good salesman. Now, I must say that
the grey Coco I are  rather rare, and his price 10 pound is the maximum
I would give for a Coco. Anyway, with old computers, the value is what
the next guy is willing to pay. The times that I got the TRS-80's
stacked at my front door is over. Or they are gone, or you have to pay
for the rare ones. Sad.

Specificaly, under OS-9, you can run one Tandy application in 128k, up to 16 
in 512k. Of course it depends on how much memory the program takes, (Home 
Publisher, for example, takes more than average if I remember right.) and 
Multi-Vue reserves 3 windows for itself.

What's this "CoCo Digest" Richard mentioned? Is it currently being published, 
and if so, how do I subscribe?
