[coco] For Boisy or Mark ref Super Driver

[Boisy G. Pitre]

I failed to mention in my last message that I am considering making a 
SuperDriver Support Pak that would include drivers for Ken-Ton and 
Disto SCSI controllers, and possibly the low level DriveWire driver.  
Would there be any interest in this?
