The Codimex 6809 is a brasilian clone of the [Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer](/museum/tandy-radio-shack-color-computer/).

After the success of another brazilian Coco clone, the [Prologica CP-400](/museum/prologica-cp-400/), several brasilian companies tried to release their own compatible system. The Codimex 6809 is one of them.

It has nothing quite special and doesn't seem to innovate at all... Anyone has more info about this system ?
