[Coco] Glenside IDE Controller Question...

[Randy Just]

This is latest in my saga to have NitrOS9 running on my Coco.  I 
played around with 360K
drives some more.  No luck.

I had a 720K 3.5" drive here, so I hooked it up to try that.  NitrOS9 
finally booted up.  A bit
hard to read as I am using the composite video input on a TV.  I have 
a monitor capable of
doing 80 characters (Magnavox I believe), but need to put together a cable.

Onto the hard disk set-up.  I suspect I will have further questions 
about that as well.
