[Coco] DSK images to floppies to run on CoCo.

[Alexander Wallace]

I have a 3 1/2 connected to the coco as well, 

I do want an SDC, hopefully there will be some done soon.

I’ll see what I can achieve with a USB drive.

Thanks!

I have made lots of disks for my Tandy 1000 but they do not all seem to want to read. It's really hit and miss. The SDC is the only reliable way I have found to make physical disk's from.
