Is Coco 3 extended BASIC source compatible with Model 1, III or 4 basic? If not, what computer BASIC is closest?

Since M$ discontinued its email software I can't find anything that worked as good as Live Mail. Tried Thunderbird and I don't like it.

How do I get one? Who do I contact? Thank you!

Using DD/DS 3.5 disks and dskini I have failures on all of track 12. Why?

I have a double 3.5 in 720k drive unit for my Coco 3 system. Can I use 1.44 meg floppies?

Removed a considerable amount of junque opening up a sizeable amount of computer space. I've put this off for eight months. Extreme happiness!!!

I opened up my Coco 3 to see if the CPU was socketed. Something unexpected caught my eyes. A cloud9 512 simm unit was installed! How can I test for proper operation? Two 256k simms are installed. Could larger simms work? I'm impressed!!!

I looked on eBay for reasonably priced 360k 5.25 floppy drives. The prices I saw were absurd! Why are these drives, used by my Tandy/Radio Shack computers, so damned expensive?

My Coco3 and FD-501 drive controller have arrived! Now for some deviltry...

I placed an order on an FD-501 floppy controller for my future Coco 3. Computer order coming soon.

Looking at buying a CoCo III. After this I'm looking into a floppy controller/drive, memory expansion, monitor cable and OS/9. Fingers are crossed!

Welcome from Plattsmouth, Nebraska. I have a "reasonable" sized collection of Tandy/Radio Shack, Commodore and older PC compatible systems. (Moderator's note: This was moved from a regional forum.)

Can AmigaDOS 3.9 be installed without a boot floppy? How? Just updated my ROM's.

Does this exist? Can it be implemented on a Commodore 128 system?
