MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

Welcome to the experimental CoCo Wiki! Help me fill this thing up with information on all things CoCo. You have to have an account to edit/create pages. If you are unfamiliar with how Wikis work, I'll have a short tutorial posted later. -- Allen
We will come up with a template format to use for the various pages. We can base it on other things that Wikipedia has done, and include a photo and table for filling in information (name, release date, system requirements, etc.). This should be fun. For now, you can just create and edit pages and put raw information there, and we'll have editors start formatting later when we figure out what the format needs to be.
Latest CoCo News
1/16/2014: Boisy Pitre and Bill Loguidice have released a book on the history of the CoCo titled: CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy's Underdog Computer.
The book is currently available via Amazon and it's publisher CRC Press. The initial batch delivered to Amazon had some printing issues in a number of the books. That is supposed to have been rectified as of this date. I cannot recommend this book enough for CoCoNuts and classic computer enthusiasts.
Amazon link to the book is here.
