Even less work to find a 3.5" 1.4M floppy drive and use it as the
CoCo's second drive. The cables are 100% compatible, just don't
use an old RS cable with missing teeth (in the drive connectors).

You should use John Collyer's updated version of Jeff V's emulator
since it is patched to properly access 720K disks in 1.4M drives.
