One of the biggest evidences of TRS Color popularity is the great number of emulators available. One of the best is Jeff Vavasour's Coco Emulator. This package contains a lot of utilities such as: Old TRS Color disk converter to .DSK images in MS-DOS format, a utility that puts MS-DOS files into .DSK images (so that the user can run the programs made in the emulator in his CP 400), a utility that retrieves Coco files to MS-DOS, a utility to read the Coco cassete and convert to .CAS images in MS-DOS format and a converter from .CAS to .WAV (so that the user can record the file back on the tape).

The emulator latest version is 1.6 and runs on MS-DOS. The latest release of MESS (v0.73) has a lot of new features  like joystick emulation under keyboard and state machine saving. Other good alternative is the ROC for Windows.

There is, also, for people who want to know the Coco 3, an emulator for that equipment - the Coco 3 Emulador (from Jeff Vavasour, also). The author has released it as freeware. The MESS emulates it perfectly too and give you an advantage: emulates Coco3 with Motorola and Hitachi processors.

All emulators need the machine ROMS. You can find them here.
The M.E.S.S emulates all TRS Color (Coco 3, also) and others machines.
