An MCX32-SD For My TRS-80 MC-10

[@ms_nop]

As hard as it is to believe, the MC-10 was my very first computer! My dad couldn't afford a CoCo (much less Apple or commodore). However he finally got me a CoCo2 when I entered high school because this couldn't do enough. I've been following other MC-10 videos lately, such a nostalgia kick, hit then this thing shows up & WOW! Thanks for showing this! One thing to remember is that the main limitation comes from using a 6803 microcontroller (MCU) rather than a general CPU like 6809 (CoCo) or even 6800 (which 6502 sort of emulated but not enough to get sued).

There are people now that are pushing the MC-10 well past what anyone thought it could do.

Excellent video and thanks for sharing. Never knew this existed

[@CanadianRetroThings]

A must have if you have an MC-10!

[@BlairsBurntOfferings]

Thanks Ken. I didn’t know it added so much to the MC-10.

[@CanadianRetroThings]

It makes it into a real computer! 😁

[@brianwieseler5938]

Thanks for the video, Ken. Excellent tutorial.

That's a great video. Never thought you could do all that on a MC-10. Keep the dream alive!

[@CanadianRetroThings]

This is only one of the add-ons. People have made a few little toys for this little computer lately.

Very interesting, thinking of picking one of these up soon. Thankfully they're not too expensive on ebay. I have a Coco 1 (an early model too) but this is just a nice little convenient thing so I want one too. I wasn't even born until 95, but I could see me buying something like this in the early 80s, that I could easily pack into a bag with me, and connect to whatever TV I needed, where I was.

The MC10 is a pretty amazing little budget machine!

[@Spider_Rico]

I'd love an MC-10 for my collection.

[@CanadianRetroThings]

They are actually a nice little computer, a little underpowered if you don't have something like this, but still nice!

[@miked4377]

wow! i love that device ken!!

[@CanadianRetroThings]

It makes the MC10 at least 500 times more useful!

[@sloopymalibu]

Oh cool! So that's how it works! Maybe one day I will get to try mine! Now if I could stop that nasty habit of taking things apart! :D Nice video as always Ken!

[@CanadianRetroThings]

As long as you can put things back together at least 50% of the time with no left over parts you are doing better than me 😁

[@sloopymalibu]

@@CanadianRetroThings Um, I aim for 99.44% complete... and those parts that are left over? those are the ones that stopped it from working! :D

[@emuhill]

MCX32-SD looks like a much better system than the MC-10 ram disk. May have to see about getting one of these.

[@CanadianRetroThings]

It is a great addition, it makes the MC-10 much more usable.

[@michh9806]

I want one!

[@CanadianRetroThings]

Currently I don't know of anywhere that has them, hopefully some will be available soon.
