Mike,

Thanks a lot for the information. I'll take a look at ebay.

Your best bet would be to surf ebay for a CoCo floppy disk drive 
and 
controller. They go from about $50 to $100 I would say. They're not 
very 
rare.

If you want to get a hard drive you're probably going to have to 
get a 
multipack interface, which are actually pretty hard to find.
