| 2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.
2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year. OS-9 Al (talk) 21:20, 15 March 2026 (EDT)) |

| About the Publication Info Box | |
80 Micro (originally 80 Microcomputing) was the biggest and most important TRS-80 magazine. It covered all TRS-80 computers and thus was never a CoCo-exclusive publication. Starting in January 1980, it published monthly until the final issue in June 1988.
Color Computer Coverage
[edit | edit source]With the CoCo scene growing rapidly, publisher Wayne Green decided to spin off 80 Micro 's CoCo coverage into a new dedicated CoCo-only magazine, HOT CoCo, which began publication in June 1983, and soon established itself as one of the "Big Three" CoCo magazines (along with The Rainbow and The Color Computer Magazine). After HOT CoCo's final issue in February 1986, 80 Micro resumed CoCo coverage with an internal section named "HOT CoCo", which lasted several months.
