[Coco] Coco Europe

[Thierry Mella]

Dear Fedor,

I'm back home ---> back on the Web !!! :-)

I would like to *sincerely* apologize if I've caused you somes problems
with my idea of translating your floppies to MESS, to avoid any physical
transportation of the CoCo & the Drive. I must say that I'm using
an iMac G5 but I also have a PC under XP. So I don't thing this is a
problem.

Nevertheless, if it's impossible, I will talk again about transportation.

What do you think ? What does the CoCo list think ?

For you convenience, I have put my 2 weeks-ago-answer to you on the CoCo 
list.

I must tell you that a guy from USA has contacted me by mail : when he 
was 16,
he was in Belgium 'cause his father was working for the SHAPE near Mons 
(Bergen).
He was also using a CoCo ...

World's small isn't it ??? :-)

Cheers,
Thierry

Is this the Australian'one ?

I do agree with the $20 price but I would start  with *one* CoCo 3 
first, 'cause
the US 'one need an external transformer (if I understand good)

But I think about one thing : wouldn't it be possible to translate your 
floppies to somes
files that MESS understand ? It would avoid the physical transportation 
problem of
the CoCo & the Drive ... (I apologize that I did not realise this 
before, I'm a newbie
in the "post-CoCo era"......)

It's *not* a price problem but an *empty place* problem. (My place is 
*very* small ...)

"Serious" things - no games ! :-)

Assembler, Pascal, C, Fortran, Basic09, OS-9 (level 1 & 2) & all other 
languages
that have exists on the CoCo in the past ...
