Sounds good. Where will the GUI be stored? Is it to be added to the 
HDB-DOS ROM for instant access?

I think it just needs to achieve the simple task of being able to do a 
BACKUP from a real Physical CoCo disk to a single file DSK on the PC/MAC 
and back.

I am using the RAMDISK at the moment which required loading the RAMDISK 
first, then doing a BACKUP from physical drive to RAMDISK, re-activate 
HDBDOS drives and doing a BACKUP to it.

Taking out the need to load the RAMDISK would save some time. Maybe a 
new command such as TRANSFER could be created which basically copies the 
physical drive #0 directly (or via RAM) to a DSK image on the PC.

TRANSFER DSK (Transfer to DSK) and TRANSFER CC (Transfer to CoCo)?

A GUI would be cool but the CoCo isn't a GUI based system... at least in 
it's native RS-DOS mode. A GUI may be more than what's needed.
