TJBChris | CoCo SDC Firmware and SDC-DOS Upgrade @TJBChris | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
My CoCo SDC on my Tandy Color Computer 3 needs a firmware upgrade as well as an upgrade of SDC-DOS. In this video, I'll briefly demonstrate the CoCo SDC and then perform the firmware and SDC-DOS upgrades. Afterward I do a brief post-upgrade check and talk about a few other capabilities of the cartridge. This video is far from exhaustive; the CoCo SDC supports quite a bit more than I demonstrated here.

Apologies for the moire pattern...the camera's LCD doesn't give me a good sense of how bad it looks.
