Bonus photos (01) for the book, CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer

Bonus photos (01) for the book, CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer

May 22, 2015 Posted by Bill Loguidice Book No Comments

In what will be an ongoing series, I’m posting photos and related materials my co-author, Boisy Pitre, has received and archived during the research phase of our critically acclaimed book on Tandy’s (Radio Shack’s) Color Computer series,  CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer. While the book itself contains quite a few exclusive images, naturally, there were many more that simply couldn’t fit. This series resolves that issue; this is part 01.
