What can we do with a Tabdy Color Computer 3? Besides serious stuff, how about exploring Super LOGO... pretty pictures 
LOGO still gets regular use at home on my #Tandy #ColorComputer workstations For serious stuff is DL Logo (under Microware's OS9) and for quick tests the Tandy offerings as ROM packs. An elegant language IMHO
Succes! After replacing the faulty video memory chip, there is no more corruption on the screen.
Next up: to inspect the expension interface box and disk drives and hook them up.
Text adventures have long been associated with contests. But: before IFComp (still ongoing since 1995), and before the AGT contest (89-93), there was the Rainbow Book of Adventures.
I give a little detail about the start of the contest, and the tutorial game meant to assist authors in making their first adventure game.
I miss the original #Qbert game. Me & my brothers loved playing it together. I was really good at Qbert.
What were some of your fave video games from the #1980s ?
I loved #SegaGenesis & classic #Nintendo consoles. I had #ColecoVision, #Atari & old #RadioShack #Tandy computer games too.
I've been having a great time exploring the Tandy Model 102 and the DVI.
The past few hours were spent learning the built-in terminal emulator. It's almost a VT52 but not fully so I created a new termcap for it. While it can do software flow control using xon and xoff, it's not great. To use it reliably I need to drop it to 2400 bps.
The other machine is a RaspPi. You need to turn of bracketed paste in the shell, as the Tandy has no chance of handling those codes.
In case anyone was wondering, went with the Hakko FR-301 for #desoldering - not prohibitively expensive, portable. Here it is next to the #TRS80 model 1 mainboard, ready to be tested. I'm gonna have to wait for the replacement video chips I just ordered on ebay before I get to try it out. Let's hope I'll be getting actual genuine 2102 SRAM chips. Ordered from #Poland, not #China, so fingers crossed.
The Tandy deluxe joystick internals. In case you're into that sort of thing.
The Tandy Portable Computer 100, was a pioneering portable computer released in 1983 by RadioShack, part of Tandy Corporation. We were programming a quiz game in BASIC on it, designed to challenge you with questions about our museum and its history.

Speaking of #ROMs for #ix86 / #amd64: Does anyone know a good way to implement something like #Linux in #ROM like the #Tandy #1000RL & #1000RLX did with #MSDOS & #DeskMate:

I mean, it would be a way cleaner setup to boot OS/1337 to than booting a #CDROM?
- If noone has an Idea how to make this happen, is there any good way or existing solution to basically make a hardware write-protectable / #readonly #USB flashdrive to boot from?
Ideally something that can take #BIOS-style ROM Chips that one can put on a board without write-enable connected so they're read-only!
- And yes, @landley may see similarities to his [deprecated] Aboriginal Linux nee #FirmwareLinux ...
Still having like a #minimalist #Linux distro in Boot-ROM would be nifty, espechally when it comes to making a #SecureComputing "#SSH #Terminal"...
- Maybe @ActionRetro, @mos_8502 and others can point this question to people who are firm in boot ROMs and potentially even have something at hand.
(I don't expect something like a PCI(e Mini)Card but I'd not be against it!)
Is this what the floppy drive on this thing is supposed to sound like?
Moving on to something a little bigger than pocket computers. This looks promising.
Decided to take the Colour Computer for a walk to enjoy the fall colours before the leaves are all gone.
