Update

I plan to take some pictures soon.

I can load the program from disk and even with the dongle plugged in the program will not run. I have not taken time to debug it yet.

COCO 2 - Finally found a copy

I have been searching, for years, for a copy of Coco 2 (by HES) for the Vic-20. I found it and it arrived yesterday. I have not tested it yet but it may be the first software I have seen for the vic that comes in disk format! It also has a dongle.

I actually own a hard copy of the book. I wrote Don, at one point, to ask if he had the assembler on tape and he did not. I eventually hunted it down and have it somewhere in my collection of disks.

I have been entering all my software and books into a document and will upload it some day.
