Since 1994, Cloud-9 has been in the business of developing and marketing cool hardware and software products for users of the Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 1, Color Computer 2 and Tandy Color Computer 3. The company is made up of a couple of guys who get a kick pushing the CoCo beyond what it was originally designed to do.

Mark Marlette is the founder/brainchild and hardware guru of Cloud-9, having started the company as a resource for quality CoCo hardware and software. Though he bought his Color Computer in 1983, his first system was an RCA COSMAC ELF, based upon the 1802 microprocessor. Like most of the die hard CoCo users today, he attributes his real-world success to the CoCo.
Mark lives in the country just outside of Delano, Minnesota. You can learn more about Mark by visiting his personal website.

Boisy Pitre contributes his hardware and software skills to Cloud-9, having been an avid Color Computer since his early teens. After envying a friend's CoCo for several years, he finally bought his own Tandy Color Computer 2 in 1985 (a 26-3136B, with 16K and Extended Color BASIC). From there he went on to the CoCo 3 and learned OS-9. In 1992, he joined Microware Systems Corporation, the makers of OS-9, as a software engineer, and has worked in the embedded industry ever since. He is a graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where he obtained his Bachelors of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics.
Boisy resides out in the country, near the city of Opelousas, Louisiana. You can also visit his personal website.

Where Are You Guys?
In our labs, of course! In addition to Cloud-9's headquarters, located in Delano, Minnessota, there is "Lab North," also in Delano, and "Lab South," located in the countryside, just west of Opelousas, Louisiana. While both labs conduct R&D, Lab North's main focus is on hardware design; Lab South concentrates on software development.
