I have a digital MiniDisc walkman I record cassette audio output to as
backup for programs from my CoCo 2.  I just make a new track for each
program.  It works great.

I don't have A/V out on my CoCo 2..but I get a lot of picture noise when
floppy drive is accessing.  I've tried running extra grounds, running the
CoCo power plug through a A/C line noise filter, etc but not much
improvement.  Anyone got any ideas on this?   I'm a die-hard "Classic"
hardware user, about the most "upgrading" I've done since original Tandy
equipment is add a second 5.25 360k PC drive to my FD-502 encloser and had a
modified ECB EPROM made with the drive already set up for fast stepping and
double-sided access in ECB.

Hello fellow Coco users.

Can anybody provide me with any guidance to the following?

1) Using a Coco 3 with an LCD TV

I live in the UK and have a Coco 3 (purchased from the US). I have 
obtained a picture using the A/V outputs and a SCART socket on the TV. On 
powering up, I get a reasonable picture quality. However, I also have a 
Super IDE and if I select OS9 or HDB-DOS the screen becomes virtually 
unreadable.

Any suggestions?

2) Does anybody know how best to transfer disk images to a CF card for use 
on Super IDE? I have Drive Wire as well - would this be the best solution?

3) Does anybody know where cassette images can be obtained from and can 
these be converted into .WAV format? I use a similar trick on a Dragon 32 
and use my Ipod to load games etc. Has anybody tried a similar thing on 
the Coco?
