Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer

Can someone tell me the difference between the "Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer" and "Tandy TRS-80 / Color Computer" consoles we have listed in the database?

I'm transitioning the Tandy TRS-80 / Color Computer section to Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer, and it will be renamed to Tandy TRS-80 Micro Computer.

So we will end up with only one console listing when you are done?

Does the name Tandy TRS-80 Micro Computer mean it will include the MC-10 as well as CoCo lines?

I may have misspoke on the Micro Computer portion. Coco is its own separate line, hence why I split it out. After I'm done, the old TRS-80 / CoCo section will just be what was supported for the original TRS-80 Model I and similar systems - not the Color systems. We'll likely add support for the Pocket Computer separately, since it had separate software.

Any suggestions on where to Micro should go, considering it had its own software? Do you know if ran on the other systems or not?

I am pretty sure the Coco software and the MC-10 stuff are not compatible.  MC-10 had only a handful of titles released for it but it should probably be in it's own category.  As should be Pocket stuff you mentioned, I do have one game for the pocket PC I just never bothered to have it added.  If we end up with a TRS-80 section for the old Model I line I will have to dig out my Model III and Model IV stuff to see if I have any games I need to add.

You sound like my wife!!

Vintage PC stuff in the DB definitely needs to be more clearly defined/flushed out.

Give us the heads up if you know of anything else that needs to be split and/or combined.

Once I start getting back on my feet financially I'd like to start getting into vintage computing, specifically the C64, Amiga, and Atari ST (though I won't turn my nose up at anything, per usual).  Until then, please be gentle.

Will do.  I happen to notice this because I had a nice Coco find at a thrift today (pic coming soon to the small score thread).  Let me know if there is anything specific I can help with, time is always a potential issue but you never know.
