Auctions of note for January 11th, 2007:



Okay, I'm way behind, but I've got a good excuse. :) I've been busy with me CoCos for a change. heh! More on that over in the Hut blog this weekend, but for now let's get caught up. Some of these may be ending soon, so jump on in there quick.





eBay: 1983 Dragon 64 Computer by Tano – NEW IN BOX! (item 170069981447 end time Jan-18-07 20:20:24 PST)



Woo hoo! A pretty cherry Tano Dragon by the looks of it. These don't come up for bid much. Also appears to be complete. A company called California Digital sells these for the same price as the starting bid on the auction. I had emailed them a couple of years ago, but don't remember a response (maybe the spam eater got it). So whether the company is offering the complete system, just the machines, or something different I couldn't say. Inquire before buying, of course. Regardless, this one up for auction looks pretty sweet!



eBay: Color computer 2 and 3 memory chips (item 260075279967 end time Jan-18-07 20:07:48 PST)



Seller is offering a lot of 4464 chips for the CoCo 2 and 41464 chips for the CoCo 3. Doesn't hurt to have spares and these are getting hard to find.



eBay: 2 OS-9 Disney Games for Tandy Color Computers w/64K (item 140073878750 end time Jan-18-07 16:48:35 PST)



Couple of the Disney games. This lot appears complete and in pretty good shape. These games are actually pretty fun for the younger set and worth a look if you have little ones around. If you need them for your collection, these wouldn't be bad additions either.



eBay: TRS-80 Color Computer Mini Disk Drive w/cable (item 220070453322 end time Jan-17-07 21:26:11 PST)



Looks like a white 26-3029 mini disk unit with drive and cable. Can't quite make out the numbers on the controller. If it works, it would certainly do the job. In this condition it would make a nice addition as well.



eBay: VINTAGE TANDY 128K COLOR COMPUTER 3 WITH BOX TRS-80? (item 230076596428 end time Jan-17-07 18:00:00 PST)



The rarer of the CoCo 3s, the later American built version. Note the big ass Tandy logo on the left of the case badge and the red, white, and blue box. There were actually three CoCo 3s made. The first is differentiated by the 1986 GIME chip installed. I've never heard how to determine which GIME is in the CoCo 3. That chip was replaced in 87 with a newer GIME (don't ask me the technical specifics... something to do with using faster memory or something like that). Both of those models were built in Korea. The third version had the same 1987 GIME, but was produced in the U.S. This is that model. FWIW, they are functionally identical and all share the same cat. no., though some of the electronic components may differ slightly. You can tell the difference between the Korean built model and the U.S. built model by the case badge and the box it came in. Little logo in the white and orange (sometimes red) box is Korean, big logo in the red, white, and blue box with the kids on it is American. Anyhow, this is a pretty good looking CoCo. Alas, no manuals or other stuff in the box. Just the machine.



eBay: Tandy Color Computer - Used, VG (item 130066951640 end time Jan-15-07 10:58:46 PST)



Pretty good looking Gray. Appears to be a Color BASIC machine and includes a few paks to play with.



eBay: 6309 CPU for TRS-80 Color Computer (Hitachi HD63C09EP) (item 120072992624 end time Jan-15-07 09:47:28 PST)



The rare 6309 upgrade for the CoCo. Makes the CoCo faster, cooler and has an enhanced instruction set. It is 100% compatible with the 6809 in native mode.



eBay: Tandy Color Computer 3 , original box (item 220069477031 end time Jan-14-07 20:39:44 PST)



Here's a good example of the Korean built CoCo 3. Hey, it's tested working as well!



eBay: Color Computer VIP terminal program (item 260073734415 end time Jan-14-07 19:34:21 PST)



Pretty good looking (and rare) cassette copy with full binder.



eBay: Multi-Vue MultiVue OS9 Level II Tandy CoCo 3 NEW OS-9 (item 150078623345 end time Jan-14-07 07:47:14 PST)



A still shrinkwraped copy MultiVue. Don't know much about this program, I'm afraid.



eBay: The Color Computer Magazine Vol. 2 # 5 TRS-80 July 84 (item 260073372633 end time Jan-13-07 18:45:07 PST)



This seller has several issue of the super rare Color Computer Magazine and Hot CoCo Magazine. Each is listed individually. Great time to fill the holes in the ol' collection.



eBay: Super "Color" Disk-Zap for the color computer (item 260073173318 end time Jan-13-07 05:29:28 PST)



From Nelson Software. Looks pretty good and the manual has been put in a binder. I haven't ever had this program before, so won't comment on it's operation.
