You aren't alone.  All of my posts there have been deleted as well as my
username.  There has been more changes to the site as well... Grammar has been
really screwed up as well.  (Not that I have good grammar at all, just noticing
little things that make it look quite bad.)

Just tried to register under a different username and password.  Still waiting
for the acceptance email... heh.

Anyway, just letting you guys know that yet another person was wiped off of
coco3.com.  :)

Hope this post finds everyone well.

My account seems to work. Perhaps they hacked the most active accounts.
This has happened many times.  Perhaps there is some forum software that is more secure.

CoCo 3 Picture Viewer

I have a bunch of disks that have various pictures in many different coco and older formats and have been
having a hard time finding an all in one picture viewer for the coco 3. What would be even better is a viewer
with a slide show function. There are cm3,pic,pc1,hr0,hr1 and other formats on these disks.

Anyone make a recommendation or send me a disk image with a viewer on it?

Thanks very much

Coco model 2

Hi all,

   I recently picked up a Trs-80 Color computer model 2 used and I'm not
sure exactly what I have.  At a cursory glance I know it's a model 2 and the
seller indicated that it was a 16k model.

   BASIC doesn't seem to work.  Turning on the machine just yields an "OK",
an nothing more but the keyboard functions fine and video seems to work
without issue.   I don't currently have any peripherals so I'm not expecting
to see the Disk Extended basic.

   However, I would have expected to be able to enter a simple basic program
(you know, 10 print "hello", something like that) and see it do something.
Instead, it just echos the characters back.  So, I know at some level some
of the components are functional.

   *So, is there a "normal" state when all you should see is "OK" upon
turning the computer on, or is there something not right here?*

   I don't have the time to really dig into the hardware right now, but I
should in a few months, so I'm just collecting info right now really and
wishing I did have the time to play.

Any info appreciated,
    Greg

It sounds to me like your computer is in good working order.

Type the following command after the "OK" prompt:

PRINT "HELLO"

and then hit the [ENTER] key.  It should echo back the word "HELLO".

If instead you type:

10 PRINT "HELLO"

You've actually entered a program, not just a command.  You then need  
to run the program by typing:

RUN

and hitting [ENTER].

That seems unlikely. At turn on, you should see a copyright message and 
then see the OK prompt. I expect you have not accurately described what 
you see.

Type the following: PRINT MEM [ENTER]
Where [ENTER] means the key. What do you see? The number will indicate 
the amount of RAM memory under startup conditions. While memory is 
normally defined as 4096-4K, 8192-8K, 16384-16K, 32768-32K, there is 
always a certain amount of low RAM reserved by Basic so the values you 
see with a tape system will be approximately 8488-16K and 24872-32K.

As another message indicated, there is a difference between a command 
and a program line. Don't preface commands with numbers.

I haven't checked into the pc1 and hrx formats, but Roger Taylor's 
Projector 3 comes to mind.

Re: Coco model 2

Gregory,

after you typed in the simple Basic program. Did you do a LIST command 
to see if it printed the lines of code and also did you try "Run <program>".

If you got a "OK" back and it echo's your type then the OS is running 
which happens to be Basic.
