We don't see Tandy appearances very often any more but here are a couple. "Terror Out of the Sky" has a TRS-80 Model I and "The 'Burbs" gives the Tandy 3000 its debut Starring-the-Computer appearance.

Spent a bit this morning creating a new RGB to VGA cable for my TRS80 Color Computer 3. Decided to go with a VGA breakout box as my soldering isn’t the best.

Don't think this Tandy 1500HD is coming back... at least not with the original hardware.

Bought this cheap knowing it had spent time underwater, with the intention of gutting the housing and sticking modern hardware inside. I always try to restore vintage stuff first, but I'm pretty sure this one is beyond saving. I'm a sucker for this form factor though, so I want to do something neat with it.

Hoping to salvage the keyboard, but I'm not sure if it works or how it communicates. Might be possible to buy/build some sort of converter to interface with USB (I am open to any suggestions there) but I'll probably just find a comparably-sized USB keyboard and shoehorn it inside the original housing.

Easy mode would be to stick a Pi, battery, and some bulkhead connectors in the case. Buuuut, I'm also realizing the shell for the LCD is a hair thicker than a Lenovo Legion Go. What if I gutted one of those, stuck it in the LCD shell? Hmm...

It's in remarkably good shape despite that though, although the board shows signs of reworking (maybe third party repairs of some kind).The empty top and bottom shells of a Tandy 1500HD, with the inner-facing surfaces up towards the camera. All inner surfaces are coated with a silvery powder that speaks to substantial water immersion.

Today’s #retrocomputing assembly project for the #tandy 1000. An 8bit RTC module to make sure we know what day it is.

Trying an enhanced version of NETCAT on my CoCo 2.

This for the Fujinet, the utility is available on the CoCo TNFS server and was at my last check the original stock 32x16 text screen - this one provides 41x24 and it is pretty snappy. New one will find its way to the server soon.

If interested search the CoCo channel at the Fujinet Discord for the discussion of the utility and download th DSK from there 😎

Day 3 I think it's just about final. Learned a lot and found a ton of issues with my tracker, namely that the global volume was completely crushing the 4 bits of attenuation on the chip so I was getting no dynamic at all.

Please clap for new song

After decades I finally ported my floppy disks into the SDC for the Zebra Systems "Color Graphics Designer Plus", the CoCo's 'Print Shop'. Program is disk use heavy as it swaps in and out the different overlays needed to support its nifty GUI... works better all loaded on the SDC pak instead of the real floppy disks. Happy camper here 🤗

@48kRAM Can I choose my own? Tandy TRS-80 Model 102 which I used to own (but gave away to a friend that used to have one when he was young).

#RetroComputing #PortableComputing #Tandy #TRS80 #RetroProgramming

Tandy TRS-80 Model 102 portable computer. Includes a tiny LCD screen, a full size QWERTY keyboard and no built in permanent storage. State of the art back in 1986!

On the Sixth Day of a , a Sensation!
The first computer I played Wolfenstein 3D on at my Radio Shack store in Chandler Az, 1992! I set this up to be playable on all our 386/486 demo machines in the store. Made for easy sales! 😉
