[Coco] MM/1 Wiki

[Bob Devries]

Hi John, you mentioned:
>It had 2 SCSI drives, 2 floppies, and a SCSI CDROM.

I don't remember ever seeing drivers for the CDROM. Were they commercial? I 
have access to a number of old Apple Macs which have SCSI CDROM drives, and 
could probably purloin one for the MM/1.

I once saw a mention of a program called Desktop for the MM/1... some kind 
of GUI, I think. Does anyone know about this?
