We need a good Tandy Computer website with info about all the computers and a archive of files. I will buy the domain name and set up the accounts if anyone is interested in setting up the php forums and the rest of the website. I work full time and am a full time student so help this time of year will be nil.

Sounds good.  If you have already looked over the internet and not found something like this already, I would be happy to see a Tandy website.  Tandy is big in Dallas/Fort Worth.  :)

I used the TRS-80 models 1 through 4 in high school, and used the TRS-80 model 100-200, and even had the docking station.  I believe if nothing else we might be able to dig up some model 100 stuff.

If you do get a domain, I'd suggest seeking help from the Maltedmedia Color Computer mailing list.  Granted, that's a specific area of Tandy not related to the other TRS-80 computers, but those guys are pretty knowledgeable and generally pretty enthusiastic.

I'm kinda looking to find someone to help with it while I'm in school, because work and such I don't have much time.

Well, that's what I'm saying.  Ask for help from the Color Computer mailing list.  I'm sure there's at least someone there who would like to help run the site, and there's a lot of knowledge on the list, too.

EDIT: Here it is:

http://www.pc1500.com/

It's for the Sharp PC-1500, but that's the same as the Tandy PC-2.

So how did the Coco Mailing list go?

I am going to forward this to the Tandy Fido group (no joke).

I can hear the screams about copyrights from here without even looking.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, why not contact an established Tandy site and talk to them about adding what you think is missing?

It's not the info, its the fact that it is spread out and most of the websites used to be on geocities!
