| About the Publication Info Box | |
80 Micro (originally 80 Microcomputing) was the biggest and most important TRS-80 magazine. It covered all TRS-80 computers and thus was never a CoCo-exclusive publication. Starting in January 1980, it published monthly until the final issue in June 1988.
Color Computer Coverage
With the CoCo scene growing rapidly, publisher Wayne Green decided to spin off 80 Micro 's CoCo coverage into a new dedicated CoCo-only magazine, HOT CoCo, which began publication in June 1983, and soon established itself as one of the "Big Three" CoCo magazines (along with The Rainbow and The Color Computer Magazine). After HOT CoCo's final issue in February 1986, 80 Micro resumed CoCo coverage with an internal section named "HOT CoCo", which lasted several months.
