[Coco] old newbie on the list

[Salvador Garcia]

Could this work if I have a CoCo SDC instead of a physical disk drive?


Thanks, Salvador

BlameTroi,

Welcome back to the CoCo community!

Please note that you can get
back into Forth on the CoCo.  If you have a CoCo, I have modified the Talbot
Microsystems Color Forth to work on any CoCo with Disk Extended Color Basic
(DECB).  So, a CoCo with one disk drive, or with Drivewire substituting for your
disk storage will give you the best of both - CoCo and Forth.

Good luck to
you,
smp
