About This Video
Let's take a look at one of the most overlooked computers in the entire Radio Shack lineup: the TRS-80 MC-10 Micro Color Computer (Catalog Number 26-1207).
Back in May 2026 I added this complete-in-box example to my collection along with the following accessories:
- MC-10 16K RAM Expansion Module (Catalog Number 26-3013)
- CCR-81 cassette recorder (Catalog Number 26-1208)
- TRS-80 MC-10 cassette cable (Catalog Number 26-1207 / 26-1207B)
We'll also see what came in the original factory retail MC-10 box and, more importantly, find out if this little computer still works over 40 years later.
Introduced in 1983, the MC-10 was Radio Shack's compact, budget-friendly home computer featuring Microcolor Microsoft Color BASIC 1.0 in ROM, along with support for color graphics and sound.
Although it never achieved the popularity of the better-known TRS-80 Color Computer, the MC-10 remains an interesting part of Radio Shack and Tandy computer history and has become increasingly collectible among vintage computer enthusiasts.
