Damn! I always wanted one of those so bad. The Tandy CoCo ran at a sizzling .89 MHz (sizzling in the figurative AND literal sense), and could be 'overclocked' believe it or not to 1.78 MHz. Wild stuff.

Hey this was my first one too. I see you had the extra memory module on the back. How did you like the tape system it used?? Wish I had saved it.
