Bob,  I don't know if this will help you, both from the standpoint of 
your CoCo system configuration and your location "down under".

My CoCo's run SCSI and have ZIP drives.  Recently, I purchased a USB 
powered 100mb ZIP and 5 disks from Megamacs.com for approx $50.00 US. 
 Though I have a Mac, I can format the disks in PCDOS and transfer files 
that way, using the PCDOS utility at the CoCo end.  The extra ZIP disks 
are used as a temp backup to the Mac for important files so I don't have 
to backup the system as often as before.  As always, ZIP drivers for 
Windoze are readily available.  Same for Linux, I imagine.
