[comp.sys.tandy] CoCo Future?

gonzalez@bbn.com (Jim Gonzalez) (12/10/90)

[ I apologize if this isn't news; I could find no reference to it in 
our comp.sys.tandy spool. ]

Prompted by the current sale and hardware troubles at home, I dropped into 
the local Radio Shack to ask about the CoCo3.  I asked if they had OS-9 in 
stock.  The salesman informed me that whatever they had on the shelves was
it, and that the CoCo 3 is "DISCO'D".  He explained that production of the 
machine ended recently, and that they're clearing out their stock.  I guess
I'll wait until the CoCo3 shows up as a $20 "Manager's Special" :-).

By the way, will Microware continue to support OS-9 for this machine?
