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.

2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net

Introduction

  • First and foremost, I would like express my gratitude and appreciation to Allen Huffman for extending an invitation to me to host my personal web page on his Cocopedia web server.
  • I invite you to check back periodically as I document my experiments with my Coco 3 setup and my 6809/6309 microprocessor computer projects.

Let's turn the time machine back to about 2011. I had been looking for work for about three years. One day I decided in addition to that, I would go back and explore my computer roots. In the early 1980s, my first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer 1 with 16K of RAM that I later upgraded to 64K. I did everything I could to find out information about that little machine. I fascinated me and held my attention for hours on end.

My Coco 3 Setup

  • Narrative about my real Coco 3 setup will go here.
  • Fired up my new Coco 3 for the first time on April 4, 2013. Seeing if it worked after having just received it doesn't count.
  • Tested my new HDB-DOS eprom I had burnt a few weeks back in my Disto Super Controller on April 5, 2013.
  • Coonnected up two 3.5" floppy drives to the Disto Super Controller and formatted a 720K

My Version of Grant Searle's 6-Chip 6809 Computer

  • Narrative about my experience designing and building my version of Grant Searle's 6-Chip 6809 Computer.

Used Grant's 6-chip 6809 Computer as the basis for my very first 6809 microprocessor based computer.

  • Qaplah! Shalom! Keep Having Fun!
