[Coco] vacant ramblings....

[Robert Hermanek]

I've considered the same sort of thing (though using a tandy model 
100/200 floppy drive) because if you could figure out the protocol used 
over the serial connection, then you could write floppy control code for 
both the coco (using serial port) and PC (again using a serial port.)  
At that point you could plug the drive into your PC, copy files onto 
disk/etc, then plug it into coco and read them back off again -- would 
be kind of neat to have a hardware device that could be used directly by 
both coco and pc.

But like a lot of ideas along these lines, I always come back to "yeah, 
but drivewire is soooo much easier."  It's a laziness issue.
