any current or former TRS-80 Color Computer owners out there? My first computer was the Color Computer 2 I bought from Radio Shack. I'd like to get another, or even better a CoCo3, so I can use OS-9 (or nitros9). I've been playing around with that in xroar emulator.<br><br><a href="/tags/coco/" rel="tag">#coco</a> <a href="/tags/coco2/" rel="tag">#coco2</a> <a href="/tags/coco3/" rel="tag">#coco3</a> <a href="/tags/trs/" rel="tag">#trs</a>-80 <a href="/tags/trs80/" rel="tag">#trs80</a> <a href="/tags/colorcomputer/" rel="tag">#colorcomputer</a> <a href="/tags/tandy/" rel="tag">#tandy</a> <a href="/tags/dragon32/" rel="tag">#dragon32</a> <a href="/tags/dragon64/" rel="tag">#dragon64</a> <a href="/tags/os9/" rel="tag">#os9</a> <a href="/tags/os/" rel="tag">#os</a>-9 <a href="/tags/nitros9/" rel="tag">#nitros9</a> <a href="/tags/xroar/" rel="tag">#xroar</a><br>

having some fun relearning TRS-80 Color Computer BASIC with xroar emulator running a Color Computer 3 rom. I didn't like the default green background and found a way to switch it. I saved the commands to do that as a .bas file and load that from my xroar.conf so that it switches the palette at startup.<br><br>The basic file:<br><p>10 WIDTH 80:PALETTE 8,63:PALETTE 0,0:CLS4:NEW<br></p>This gives me a dark grey background. I could have had black with CLS1, but I like the grey.<br><br>and the line in my config file under the "machine coco3" section:<br><br><p>run "/path/to/colors.bas"<br></p>Just getting started again with all this after last using a Color Computer 2 in the late 80's/early 90's.<br><br><a href="/tags/trs/" rel="tag">#trs</a>-80 <a href="/tags/trs80/" rel="tag">#trs80</a> <a href="/tags/coco3/" rel="tag">#coco3</a> <a href="/tags/xroar/" rel="tag">#xroar</a><br>
