[Coco] CoCoFEST! 2014 and the elusive CoCo 4

[Bill Pierce]

Salvador, I think the "Coco 4" you saw was the Tandy prototype "Coco 4" which was just an empty case. There was no "computer" inside. Tandy never got that far as that was about when they stopped production of the Coco. I assume Boisy aquired it from Tandy when he went to Fort Worth to interview them for the book.

Thanks Randy! I hope Boisy chimes in with more information about this computer. 
It was very well made. Regards, Salvador

Hi Salvador.  I was at the CoCoFest as well and the gentleman with the CoCo4 was 

Boisy Pitre.  He and Bill Loguidice wrote the book on the CoCo "CoCo: Tandy's 
Underdog Computer".

4". This was at a booth of a gentleman I talked with, but can't remember his 
name. The table was next (or very close) to Cloud-9's display and was next to 
the exhibit room's door.
