Link to the start of the discussion: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/general-discussion/the-best-8-bit-home-computer/msg139450/#msg139450 I think there are two reasons that Coco 3's seems scarce; 1) it was only sold in 3 countries, where as the 1/2 were sold in several dozen. 2) Since they are quite an...
