It works alright for up to 126 granules (64 usable tracks)

As long as you only read, there are no problems.  If you accidentally
try to write you will have problems.  Of course with the SDC you can
have the patches come up every time you start your CoCo and not really
have these issues.

Still, it isn't worth it to me, but I generally work under OS-9.
