Not to mention the fact that there aren't likely many useful working
hours left on them unless they've been stored unused since they were
manufactured a quarter century ago.  Even in such a state I wouldn't be
too surprised if they didn't spin up.  IDE and CF are definitely the
most practical options at this point.  I got a cute little 4G Hitachi
Microdrive recently.  I'll probably use it for swap space on an old
laptop running Damn Small Linux (4.0 is really slick!)  If it lives long
enough (or if I can find another one) it might end up on a CoCo after that.
