From ChatGPT 4o:The Tandy Color Computer (often referred to as the CoCo) was not one of the last computers Tandy produced. It was part of the TRS-80 line but followed a different development path compared to Tandy's PC compatibles. The Color Computer series, including the CoCo 1, CoCo 2, and CoCo 3, were produced from 1980 until around 1991.Tandy's line of IBM PC-compatible computers continued after the discontinuation of the Color Computer series. The last models in Tandy's TRS-80 line before transitioning entirely to PC compatibles included the TRS-80 Model 2000, which was semi-compatible with the IBM PC, and the TRS-80 Model 100/102 portable computers.However, the definitive end of the TRS-80 line can be marked by the discontinuation of the Tandy 1000 series, which were IBM PC-compatible systems. The Tandy 1000 series was produced from 1984 to around the early 1990s. The Tandy 1000 RSX, introduced in 1991, is considered one of the last significant Tandy-branded PC-compatible models before the Tandy name was phased out in favor of standard IBM-compatible PCs.After this period, Tandy Corporation focused more on their retail operations and eventually sold their computer manufacturing assets to AST Research in 1993. This marked the end of Tandy's direct involvement in producing personal computers.Sent from my Galaxy
