[Coco] WordPak

Tue Jul 11 22:16:34 EDT 2017

Well you can get the manuals in the color computer archive site.

It would be interesting if you could dump its ROM.

In the manual you can find a basic driver for it.

I recently bought a CoCo bundle and it came with WordPak. Ironically, I had
no idea what it was at first because there was an external PCB board with
two POTs attached to the case with electrical tape. That was hiding the
label! Thought it was a synth card for a moment with its RCA plug.

Can someone point me to more info on the WordPak? Think there was alot of
discussion about it on the list recently.

Cheers,
Carlos

Is it possible that at some point you were connected to a router or other
device that didn't support 9k frames?

This isn't about updates, at least not recent ones... but it turns out that
somewhere between Windows 7 and Windows 10, there was a change that forces
all exiting threads to acquire a lock that only one thread can have at a
time, making it a bottleneck for Windows performance. More info here:

If anyone else is using the cocoflash and RS speech sound pak together I
finally made time and finished my hack of the menu program. It speaks the
name of the program you are loading. (as well as all the other changes)
It is a bit tedious to initially setup because of the SS/C's phonics but
after it is flashed to the pak it is  a nice addition to the menu
If anyone is interested I can send you a copy of the hack
