Jari - 

Coco {II, III} is an abbreviated name for the Radio Shack
COlor COmputer. It's been out since 1980 or 81, and is a 6809 based
micro. The DRAGON was one of two clones of the coco, and was released
by TANO corporation... an English based firm, I believe. I have a few
friends that are also running os9 on dragons.

The cocoIII is an enhanced version (redesigned, actually) of the coco
II. It has some memory management hardware, enhanced graphics, and
will support up to 512k. It handles os9 level II.
