[Coco] Rejoicing!

Rumor has it that Ries, Rich [S&FS] may have mentioned these words:

>Just want to share my happiness at getting my CoCo3 going last night

>I needed to shuffle to find the two operative ones. And then to see the

Sweet!

Cloud-9's SuperIDE, and a 128Meg CF. It's plug-n-play for the simple stuff, 
but once you get the virtual floppies configged & transferred, and have an 
OS-9 partition set up (which does take a little work - I still don't have 
mine quite where it should be) you won't need a multipak, external floppies 
or anything else - makes a great tinker/kids machine.
