Rumor has it that DJ \(M1DLG\) may have mentioned these words:
[[ Note: Please don't click "Reply" then start up a new thread -- that

anyone here with any experence with these, as i have a
badly damaged power
supply board, has been damaged since around 1994 when it fell out of the
loft (owing to my mum religating everything i owned then out of the way.)
the loft to floor fall was 12-15 feet, and it is my dream to have the whole
thing working once again.
No experience directly, but I've worked on CoCos for years, and they're
quite similar. However, if you just want to replace it in the short term,
try here:
http://www.cadigital.com/computer.htm
Most of the items they sell at that website are insanely expensive, but at
$35 complete, it's actually rather reasonable... If you're not in the US, I
dunno what shipping would do to ya...
if there is anyone with an old one with mind to sell or
any circuit diagrams
to offer then please let me know. i am also looking to convert the cassette
tapes of the games and other software i have stashed to CD as this is only a
theory that it could work i would like to know if anyone has done this
before.
Dunno if the cassette audio is compatible, but Jeff Vavasour would be the
guy to get in contact with for stuff like that - he wrote the premiere
CoCo2/3 emulator (google is your friend, my friend) and there are programs
that can convert tape audio data to/from wave files for the emulator on a
PC. You might wanna try there...
HTH, and laterz,
