What is the difference between the Coco2 and Coco3
computers?
The Color Computer 3 has replaced the 6847 and some of the other internal
logic with a gate array. This provides some additional features such as a
simple memory management system, so that you can run OS/9 level 2. The CC3
is expandable to 512K of RAM, by adding a special memory expansion card.
Also, are the cartridges that worked
with the Coco1 compatible with the later models? Thanks.
Most of them are. A few that used the +12V supply, such as the first
generation floppy controller, are not. Those can be used if you plug them
into a Multipack, since it provides the +12V.
