I want to tap into the collective knowledge of the list here, especially those outside of the U.S. who are members and who owned Color Computers back in the day.

In the upcoming book, Bill and I want to touch a bit on CoCo as it existed outside of the U.S. There's the issue of clones, which is a different topic and not what I'm looking to discuss at the moment.

My understanding is that there were different subsidiaries of Tandy in different countries setup to handle Radio Shack store sales there. Canada had InterTan. Who did Australia have?  Europe?

It also appears that international CoCo sales started with the CoCo 2, then carried on with the CoCo 3. I know that a PAL version of the CoCo 3… what about a CoCo 2? And were there any other languages that the BASIC manual was printed in besides English?
