Can We Find Any More Mods For The Color Computer 2?

The Color Computer 2 is on the bench again today for episode 2 in my #SepTandy series.

We'll look at the progress that's been made so far and then move it along with the CPU upgrade to the Hitachi 68C09EP. Next, we'll upgrade the RAM from 16k to 64k. And finally, we'll test our results.

Based on how long it took me to record this, I honestly expected this video to be much longer, so I cut it short without doing the last mod I wanted to get done today. We'll save that for next time.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you for watching

Excellent video! Never call yourself bad names because of a mistake as we all make them. But you found it and fixed it. Great job. Thanks for sharing

Great progress on your Color Computer 2 restoration. Hopefully the weather plays nice this weekend and you can retrobright your other CoCo 2 case.

Very nice, am amazed the coco has a much smaller board footprint than the dragon for almost the same machine

It turns out on the Coco 1 the entire RF modulator is an off-the-shelf Radio Shack part #UM 1285-8.

Could have been a lot worse without the sockets! Imagine the giant sigh after realizing you'd soldered the 4164 in the wrong way around.
