[Coco] Tandy Hard Disk Controller

[KnudsenMJ at aol.com]

Gene and I already mentioned the best use for one of these  "controllers."
 
But at a different kind of range, a 3-wood or 5-iron would probably make a  
lovely display for a second or two -- just yell "fore" instead of "pull.".
 
Seriously, this thing is good only for a museum display, and barely  deserves 
to sit in the same glass case as a B&B interface.  You'll  never get it 
working on a Coco, and it's doubtful it has any historical Coco  relevance.
 
  FWIW, I remember getting really excited over one for $120 or  whatever at a 
Tandy fire sale, but since the disk drive itself and driver  software were 
nowhere in sight, some kind soul who knew better talked me out of  it.  I should 
have bought him lunch and a beer.
 
I wonder if anyone ever did use one successfully, like on a TRS-80  IV?
