[I am sorry that I haven't posted a video in a long time. I have had serious health issues and reallife problems.]

In this video, we do some retrocomputing with an 1987 Tandy Color Computer 3, computer affectionately known as a CoCo 3.

The machine is upgraded to 512k, with a Triad Memory Upgrade:

If at some point get a Hakko Desoldering gun, I would risk a cap replacement, but for now, I will run it. Though, I should have checked for ripple.

The CocoSDC is shown:
