Take the floppy drive from the coco to the linux box, tell the bios its there, 
and it should work.  You'll have to master the cli commands to make it write a 
coco formatted disk on linux, and may have to install the mdutils to get it 
all. ISTR that is the right name anyway.  Its been a while, somebody correct 
me if that is the wrong package.

I was having interchange problems for a while and did that for a few months.
