[Coco] FDC emulators was:Re: Its Alive!

hey Darren, 

first congrats for the project, second are you providing a way to change the floppy image directly from the coco? Like a special port or something?

if so i could  make a custom version of the sidekick to navigate through all the rsdos dsk images on Sd.

just a write port for the current drive number would be enough. the maximum drive number could be fixed by software.

Speaking of floppy emulators, this week I received the latest rev of the
PCB for my CoCo SDC project.

Work on the software continues...
