Nicknamed the "CoCo2," the TRS-80 Color Computer 2 was the successor to the Color Computer. It had a smaller, lighter case, more RAM, and a much-improved keyboard (although it was not full-size). It also added the ability to type lower-case letters. It was intended to compete with the Atari 8-bit computers and the Commodore 64. The Color Computer 2 could display 8-color graphics at 64x32 resolution, and 2-color graphics at 256x192.
