This is the Prototype card. #TRS80 #FujiNet #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #TRS80CoCo
#trs80
Prototype of #TRS80 CoCo #FujiNet which uses the cartridge bus –and not the CoCo RS232 serial port– booting up the FujiNet CONFIG program. Shows the splash and goes into the menu! The prototype board uses a PicoROM wired direct to the bus, all IO is sent out over the USB port. This is the same technique currently being used by the MSX FujiNet prototype too.
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.

Epic Hero #1 continues, with another bad pun, an island British demon woman (??), cryptic messages that don't get used, and an author self-insert scene.

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. #trs80 #retrocomputing #tandy

The first "D&D" type game I played on a computer was Dungeons of Daggorath (early 80s, TRS-80 CoCo), at around the same time I started playing D&D.
Yet one more of those old Radio Shack photo-composed ads... I'll take it 😁

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 🤗

May 2026's entropy be kind to you all 😎
I announced a few days ago the long-lost Adventure 751 from CompuServe finally being playable. Here's my first post on my series on the game, where I give a deep dive into the history as well:
