[Coco] Bill Barden's "Connecting the CoCo to the real world" book available?

[Alexander Wallace]

It would e ideal if it has been digitized so that delivery/shipping is simplified… Hopefully the author will respond to my FB messages… Fingers crossed!

Thanks!

>> I think "Connecting the CoCo to the Real World" is a real book and it is mentioned in his byline beginning with the April 1991 Rainbow (pg 32), but I have no idea where to find a copy of this book. I can find some references to it in the search engines, but I haven't found the actual book.=================================

Tandy ended up NOT releasing it even after he had announced it. He was pretty ticked off with Tandy and fell out of the CoCo world for several years. He was known to have a bit of an ego... IIRC he did release it several years later, but as self published... I think. Don't recall if it was an actual print book or as PDF file(s) on disk. May have been text files on disk? I have never seen a copy.  Frank Swygert Fix-It-Frank Handyman Service 803-604-6548
