[Coco] My CoCo plans - Looking for advice and insight.

[Frank Pittel]

I have an ls120 drive. I got an external "parallel port"<sp?> version attached to my superide
adaptor. I got the idea from Mark M. the drive itself is an ide drive with an
adaptor, power supply and case. The drives and disks go cheap on ebay.
