[Tandy Color Computer 3 Keyboard Troubleshooting]

What color are you painting it ?

[Tandy Color Computer 3 Keyboard Troubleshooting]

Probably will, i have a coco1 with a melty keyboard..i will check soon

 

[Tandy Color Computer 3 Keyboard Troubleshooting]

I'm getting closer...

If you feel like it ypu csn take a picture of the motherboard and post it then we will know whats up 

[Tandy Color Computer 3 Keyboard Troubleshooting]

It will say extended color basic on boot if you have it..

As for lowercase

If you hit shift zero you will normally get inverse  text

So if you type

POKE 359,57.    (ENTER)

POKE 65314,16. (ENTER)

now try shift zero 

If you have the ti video chip you will see true lowercase letters while typing

The computer wont understand it though 

So commands like cls wont work unless uppercase. But you can use it in text..

That a great coco2 ! I have one like that.. does it  use the 2 ram chips  , ahd does it have 64k and extended basic and true lowercase (t1chip) ?
