Both! According to Mike N.'s book, it is "Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer". -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Vintage Computer Festival Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 3:04 PM To: Classic Computers Mailing List Subject: Proper name for Tandy Color Computer? What is the "proper" name for the Tandy Color Computer? Is it that? Or is it "Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer"? Or is it "Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer"? I guess it also depends on what model we are talking about, so let's say the original and the CoCo2. I know the CoCo3 was pretty much labeled Tandy by then.

All of the Coco 1s (including some white ones) were marketed as TRS-80.

Just my recollection but, I've never heard of the Coco3 being called a TRS-80. Tandy Color Computer

I think some or all of the Coco2s were called TRS-80s. All of the Coco 1s (including some white ones) were marketed as TRS-80. At that time I didn't really hear "Tandy" used much. Perhaps it was used for the TDP-100. All I recall for the coco 1 was TRS-80 Color Computer or Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer. I guess it would be good enough to see what it says on the outside of the box or on the bottom of the unit. -- John.

CoCo3: Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 3 These were obviously versions sold in Australia - nothing to indicate they were special for this market though.
