| 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 |
User:MagicFab
I am a long-time Color Computer fan from Colombia, interested in rescuing and restoring as many CoCos as I can and putting them in hands of new users.
This includes improving existing documentation and sharing new information, repairing and restoring older systems, and learning how to build cables and other peripherals for re-distribution.

Hardware
My first computer was an original Color Computer with 4K RAM. I then upgraded to CoCo 2. I still own both systems.
I also own a CoCo 3 as a many driver and several CoCo 2 and 3 systems rotate in my home lab while awaiting new owners.
