[Coco] CoCo and Amateur Packet Radio?

[Stephen Fischer]

The CoCo2 was used a lot, I have a big booklet compilation of CoCo 
articles from A5.

The quality is so very poor that scanning it so it is readable will be a 
huge task. When I find it again I will offer it to someone to scan.

My collection of A5 I sent to another CoCoer along with a TNC which I 
may have destroyed attempting to use, he could not get it to work 
either. He sent the magazines to a FL club who never put them online.

A5 as far as I can tell A5 is not online, the last time I found anything 
was in England.

Clay Abrams K6AEP wrote a two part article in CQ about his CoCo2 SST 
software and boards. That article was why I purchased my first CoCo2.

He produced TTY and other CoCo software that are likely on tapes that 
are unreadable.

He does not mention the CoCo in the article from him I found online.
