[Coco] Color Basic

[Bill Pierce]

Thanks Bruce, I just looked through all the "stuff" I had received with the Coco 1 (E board also) that Herren Floyd sent me last year and I found those same manuals. I had put the books away thinking I had scans of them in my archives.
But, there seems to be no scans of these manuals in the archives. I hate to dismantle my copies to scan them but I may just do that. My copies are in "pristine" condition so I should get really good scans.

I also have another tidbit which I've already scanned but haven't uploaded yet. It's the "TRS-80 Pocket Handbook" (c 1982) by William Barden Jr. It's a small "leather" bound handbook of all TRS-80 BASIC commands, including Model 1, Model II, Model III, Coco CB, ECB, & DECB.
The only reason I haven't posted it yet is that my OCR software (came with my printer/scanner) preserve page format and I would really like to make it searchable. It's 286 pages of "priceless" BASIC reference.

If someone would like to OCR the scans, I could send the PDF and/or the scans. The PDF is 65 meg and the scans are 338 meg 7zipped.

Yes; my first CoCo (an "E" board in January of 1983) came with "Getting 
Started With Color Basic" and "Going Ahead with Extended Color Basic."
