Compucolor items on eBay

For me, it was a choice between the Compucolor II and an Apple II. The decision was based on the Compucolor's built-in RGB monitor vs. the Apple's RF video output, which I felt was not as good-looking. That plus the fact that I'd have to buy an expensive color TV as well as the computer, and that would have broken my budget. You're right about the quirks. The screen RAM was used as a buffer when the floppy was doing certain operations. And the file system was truly strange -- If you saved a file with the same name as an existing one, it would leave the old one intact and create a new file with an incremental version number. IIRC, that was a leftover from the 8-track file system the previous version of the Compucolor used. -Tom Chandra Bajpai wrote:
