[Coco] disk controller chip

[Mark Marlette]

Gene,

That I do not know, 1773 compat. version

The HD mod to the controller was like making a new one...... Worked GREAT though.

I also added a mod to read the density hole and automatic adjust the data transfer rate.


Regards,

Mark

Thats good news Mark. Now I wonder if Fujitsu ever made a 1773 compatible 
chip?  If so, it might be an interesting swap for the majority of our 
controllers.


Cheers, Gene
