2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

About the Info Box

The Tandy Data Products System 100, or TDP-100, was a Color Computer made by Tandy but marketed by Radio Corporation of America (RCA). The TDP-100 was notable in being marketed outside Tandy's traditional distribution channel of Radio Shack stores; instead being sold by retailers that sold RCA products. Tandy also made some otherwise-standard CoCo software and peripherals that were TDP-branded.

Tandy announced the TDP-100 in July 1982. [1]

Bob Rosen of Spectrum Projects gave the TDP-100 a favorable review in the February 1983 issue of The Rainbow and in the April 1983 issue of The Color Computer Magazine. Somewhat strangely, he called TDP "Tandy Distributor Products" instead of "Tandy Data Products". Anyway, he was clearly impressed enough with the machine to have Spectrum Projects become a TDP-100 retailer, as advertised in the November 1982 Rainbow. (Hmm several months before writing his reviews, which did not mention him selling the product. CoCo fans can most likely forgive the apparent conflict of interest from such a stalwart supporter of the platform.)
