In the second of 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 is part 02 and is a companion to the Facebook page on the book.

Chris Burke of Burke & Burke. According to Chris, “I think the board in front is an EPROM programmer that I built for early XT-ROM shipments; I later switched to Disto’s programmer. In that case the tall board in back is an IBM PC MFM hard disk controller, from before the half-size boards were common.”
