[Coco] Tandy Radio Shack Color Computer Burke OS9 Hard DriveInterface

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Been there, done the same.

But with Disto's SCSI hardware.

I finally, after the DISTO controller died, I came to the conclusion that it 
was the connector to the CoCo that was involved.

I may have also have had the same problem with floppy disks. Common, the 
Disto controller.
