Coco variations (was: Proper name for Tandy Color Computer? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Yes I have one of those Tandy "Videotext" terminals. 
Mine came with a brown leather carrying case.  The
terminal is indeed silver with the chicklet keys.  I'd
have to go pull it up but it looked like a coco 1 to
me but has a Videotext label on it IIRC.  Since I
don't have access to anything that would work with it
I've never tried it out.

  Rumor has it that Fred Cisin may have mentioned
 these words:
 IIRC, Tandy also made a "Vidoetext"
terminal that  was in a white version
 of the Coco 1 case.  
 Not necessarily -- the one I saw at Dayton was in a
 silver case w/chicklet 
 keys...

 However, it was 1) pretty beat up, and 2) too
 expensive, so I didn't pick 
 it up.

 Ah well... ;-)
