CoCo Gadgets

Welcome to the home of the TRS-80 / Tandy CoCo community! Just look at a few things the CoCo world has created.

CoCo 3 in an IA-1The webmaster's son is actually playing 'Mary and the Butterflies' (a CoCo 3 game) on a Compaq IA-1 Internet Appliance. That's right. This mini-PC can become a CoCo emulator by using a little elbow grease. A 2gig MS-DOS bootable CompactFlash card holds all the goodies. This project was well worth the effort and initial research headaches, but the hardest work is over. Once you have a CF card set up correctly, you can add more files to it from Linux or Windows and move it back over to the IA-1. I can't wait to play around with NitrOS-9 on this thing.
Simulate a CoCo floppy drive using this device connected to your PC. This serial-port driven system works seamlessly with a Disk BASIC floppy controller for accessing virtual floppy disks stored on your PC. Those searching for these types of solutions will also want to check out Cloud-9's 'DriveWire' product which uses a much simpler method for doing the same thing - using just a CoCo serial port cable and some patches to DOS.
Occasionally someone invents something very impressive but due to low exposure we often aren't aware of these cool CoCo gadgets. How about an entire CoCo 3 on a small board? The CoCo3FPGA pictured here allows a VGA monitor and PC keyboard to be attached, and it provides floppy disk access via a special 115.2K serial port patch to the built-in Disk Extended Color BASIC "ROM".
This item is so cool (and Hot) that I'm sure plenty will seek to aquire one and maybe even take the project further.

Can't find a CM-8 RGB monitor for your CoCo 3? Have no fear... Roy Justus is here. This guy has created an extremely cool RGB to VGA converter box! The video output is very nice and colorful. Pictured here is one of CoCo3.com's newest wide-screen 'VGA' LCD monitors hooked up to a CoCo 3. No problem!

For more information including photos and reviews, and to contact Roy, visit this site .

REAL Donkey Kong for the CoCo 3REAL Donkey Kong for the CoCo 3! That's right - Sock Master (John Kowalski) has done it again and released another 'undoable' CoCo jewel. This game is an actual translation of the original Donkey Kong source code. He took the game binary and converted it into compatible CoCo opcodes, and the result is the actual Donkey Kong game as it is was originally experienced in the arcade cabinets.

Visit Sock Master's Donkey Kong page.

Gate Crasher - hot 3-D action on your CoCo 3Nick Martentes (Nicholas Marentez from Australia) has created some of the most popular CoCo 3 games to date, including the action-packed 'Gate Crasher'. This is a 3-D based first-person shooter game and probably the closest thing to a 'Doom' play-alike that we will see for a while. Any challengers?

SuperIDE Interface for the CoCo!This is Cloud-9's impressive and popular SuperIDE Interface cartridge supporting CompactFlash memory cards, IDE devices, and much more! You owe it to yourself to visit their website and learn more about this cool cartridge and their other CoCo products.
