[Coco] Copying CoCo diskettes to PC

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

No commercial USB floppy will do 256 bytes sectors :(

There is the expensive KryoFlux:

But I have no experience with it so far.

When I need I transfer the .dsk from PC to coco floppy using DW.


BTW: I'm live in Montreal too, well Brossard but I work in Montreal.
