MarkO Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I learn something new everyday :-) Between this thread, and another from the OP, I have learned quite a bit about CoCo's this week.. The CoCo 2s came from the factory with 16K and Standard BASIC, or 16K and Extended BASIC, the 64Ks only came with Extended BASIC. There are Three subversions of the 16K, ( nul ), A and B, but only Two subversions of the 64K, ( nul ) and B. The "carrot" symbol, ( e.g. "^" ) is not above the #6 key, but is generated from the Up-Arrow key.. This seems common on Original CoCo 1s, 2s, and 3s keyboards.

Iwantgames:) Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Its a pretty basic game, I'd like to eventually edit it up to play more like my favorite 2600 game, Seaquest Need to get a disk drive or tape drive first tho as typing it in every time I start the CoCo would suck lol Edited July 6, 2015 by Iwantgames:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantgames:) Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 The SDC just plugs straight into the cart port? That's pretty sweet. Are these prebuilt? Definitely be interested in getting one soon but my soldering skills aren't the greatest, I can do it if I gotta just try not to lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yes, it plugs into the Cartridge Port and acts like a Floppy Drive, or a Hard Drive. When I bought mine in OCT-NOV-2014, there was an option to buy a Kit and Solder it yourself, or buy it Assembled.. I think you can still get them either way... Ask Zippster about the current options... MarkO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
