Just a couple of questions regarding older CoCo products and services- 1) Does anybody have an address I might be able to order issues of the old COLOR COMPUTER MAGAZINE from? Since this was (before its demise) a Ziff-Davis publication, I assume they maintain some central service. 2) Looking through old magazines, I noticed that there was a period around '84 where a couple of companies manufactured Z80 co-processor paks to allow the CoCo to run CP/M software. While it may seem a bit silly, I was wondering if these beasts might still be available these days (and if so, from whom)? (No flames please, I find it an amusing pastime to run CP/M on machines it was never intended for. I routinesly run CP/M emulation on my Tandy 1000.) 3) Has anyone tried to run an X-Pad (remember those?) on a CoCo 3? Obviously, you would need a MultiPak because of the 12v needed, but is it otherwise compatable (no ghosts, etc.)? Thanks in advance... (On a side note- several months ago, I posted a message requesting help with a CoCo II that would not work with disks. I received several replies suggesting that the CPU chip might be bad. Since I ahd already purchased another machine, I did not get a chance to try this until a few weeks ago. Replacing the 6809 did the trick- thanks to all who replied.) -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
