[Coco] Re: [Color Computer] Problem with .dsk file transfer

[Dave G]

You might want to pick up a copy of DriveWire from www.Cloud9tech.com
You can load a DSK image to a virtual drive, then backup the file to 
a real floppy on the coco. Using BACKUP 4 TO 0, then drive off to 
access drives on coco, then BACKUP 0 TO 4. Basically writes whatever 
flies are in the DSK image right to the floppy. You connect both 
computers together with a file transfer cable via the bitbanger port 
on the back of the Coco. FOund this out from Dragon on the user 
forums. He could give some advice also. Also look into Omniflop. I am 
still in the process of getting a 3.5 floppy into my disk drive setup 
on the coco, but that might be another option.
