Nope! All joystick entry, and there's only one button. In that way that contemporary coders thought people who played their games were so anathema to typing that it was joystick-only interface all the way.

I don't know how much CoCo software runs on it. I'm guessing "more than you think but less than you'd want."

It's an adorable machine, with some impressive hardware, but it was basically doomed when Tandy moved into the x86 void left by the failure of the PCjr.

Well, yes 😭 but ...

The 6809 is an awesome 8bit CPU but it was the expensive one, and there was no easy upgrade path - even the 68008 isn't an almost hardware compatible drop-in replacement.

And the thought of a 8086 or 65816 style hack to the 6809 makes me cringe.
