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

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.

Boisy Pitre: "his is the photo of the CoCo 4 mock-up that John Prickett sent me via email on October 2, 2012. It was added casually at the end of his email, as though it were a post script, but you can imagine my excitement when I saw it for the first time. It's existence was rumored but never verified until that moment. Bill Loguidice and I kept the secret about this for over a year, until the book came out in December 2013 (we did let a few select friends in on the existence of the mock-up, but they kept quiet.)"
