TRS-80 Color Computer

Microcomputer

The TRS-80 Color Computer, later marketed as the Tandy Color Computer, is a series of home computers developed and sold by Tandy Corporation. Despite sharing a name with the earlier, Z80-based TRS-80, the Color Computer is a different system and a radical departure in design, based on the Motorola 6809E and variants of the Motorola 6847 video display generator.
