Welcome
to
Color
Accessories
These
are devices,
such as a
printer or
cassette recorder,
you can
add
to
your
computer
to
increase
its
usefulness
in
programming and
data storage.
The
Color
Computer
3 contains the necessary
interfaces to simplify
the addition
of
many
accessories.
Joystick Controllers.
Adding
a
pair of joystick controllers
gives
you
yet
another
means
of
entering information
and
controlling the
computer.
The
joysticks
include fire-when-ready buttons
and
two-
dimensional
control
sticks.
Multi-Pak Interface. With the Multi-Pak
Interface (26-3124),
you can
connect as
many
as
four
Program Paks
and/or
interface controllers
to
your Color
Computer
at
once. Therefore, frequently-used
program
paks
do
not
have
to
be
removed and
reinserted
over
and
over
again.
Cassette. For long-term storage
of
programs and
data,
connect a
cassette recorder
to
the
computer and save
the information
on
tape.
The
Color
Computer
3 saves
programs and
data
on
tape
at
approximately
1500 baud, which
is
roughly
11,000 characters per
minute.
The CCR-81
(26-1208)
comes
with
the
necessary connecting
cable
and
is
highly
recommended.
Disk
System.
For
even
greater
storage
capacity,
you can
add
on
a
Color
Computer
Disk
System
(26-3131).
Printer.
You
can connect any
Tandy
serial
interface printer to
your
Color
Computer
3.
