Chromasette

Chromasette was the first tape-based magazine for the TRS-80 (or Tandy) Color Computer. The monthly collection of "games, teaching or utility programs" was published by CLOAD, the Santa Barbara, California-based publishers of a periodical by the same name for the early (black and white) TRS-80 models. The first issue of Chromasette was dated July 1981, and the final issue was likely published in 1984.

"Chromasette is very much like CLOAD, with a cassette wrapped in an accompanying letter that lists the programs," writes Stephen Gray in Creative Computing

The accompanying explanatory letter is perhaps most famous for nicknaming the Color Computer the CoCo in the October 1982 issue.

Each of the cassette tapes in our collection includes 7 or 8 programs, not counting the "cover" program.
