Nice find @rubber_jonnie, I’ve owned a COCO2 but never used that one.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I know this, but my need for specific machines is decelerating :)

I'm thinking I might collect some more of the handheld computers like the Casio and Sharp I already have. There are quite a few and they don't take a lot of space and are quite inexpensive. Maybe get some Psions or some calculators :)

As I have the Amstrad NC100, NC200 and Epson HX-20, I may see if I can get something like a TRS-80 Model 100 to go with it, perhaps some other portables.
