TC^3 SCSI Controller
Full SCSI Support for your CoCo
Never before has the CoCo had this many storage options! SCSI is the way to go on your Color Computer with up to 8 devices supported on a single bus. We've used various size hard drives and even CD-ROMs on this controller with amazing success. 100% compatible with OS-9 (using our SuperSCSI software) and BASIC (using our HDB-DOS product). Given the fact that SCSI controllers are harder and harder to find, this is a great product if you want to bring mass storage options to your CoCo.

A Solid History
The TC^3 SCSI Controller has been in operation in numerous Color Computer systems since its debut in 1996. Our customers have raved about the quality and performance of this controller, and for good reason. It is born of good design, low part count and quality components. All of these characteristics make for a product that draws low power and gives the CoCo community the best SCSI controller available.
