I rescued this piece, amongst others,  from an Estate sale. It has been cleaned, tested and works great! I also re-worked the casing of the computer and joystick in order to restore them to their former glory!

The box has seen better days (see pictures). However, it is original!

What You Get: 

  • Radio Shack TRS-80 64K Color Computer 2, Motorola 6809 Microprocessor (hybrid 8/16 bit)

  • The original box!

  • Cable for connecting to an NTSC TV (RF VHF input required on TV)

  • Realistic CTR-80A data cassette recorder

  • A cable for connecting the cassette recorder for loading/saving software

  • Tandy TRS-80 Deluxe Joystick

  • An RF modulator (300 ohm to 75 Ohm, connects to the above cable and the TV)

  • An RF Balun connector for the RF modulator above (an extra I am throwing in!)

  • Software instruction sheet

  • Cassette with assorted games (an extra I am throwing in!)

I have also included a CD with software in WAV file format, containing the software on the cassette. I also supply printed instructions on how to set up the Radio Shack TRS-80 64K Color Computer 2 so that you can load these files into the Color Computer from your smart phone!

Color Computer 2 Info: 

The CoCo 2, introduced in 1983, is basically a refinement of Radio Shack’s original TRS-80 Color Computer. It utilizes a more efficient power supply, higher integration (lower parts count), and a smaller case. The only significant functional difference between the two is the absence in the CoCo 2 of a regulated +12VDC power supply.

The 26-3127 model is the first 64K Color Computer 2. It contains the Extended BASIC ROM, the enhanced keyboard, and 64 kilobytes of RAM (naturally). Otherwise, it is identical to the 26-3026/26-3027. Note that the RAM is soldered in place in those machines which were factory-equipped with 64K.
