[Coco] 5.25" Floppies...

[Al Hartman]

You realize that Cocs are not the only systems that use 5.25" floppy drives. There are many, many retro enthusiasts who still use them.

I use them on my TRS-80 Model 4, my IBM PC, my Tandy 1200, my many Apple ][gs and Apple clone computers, my LNW-80, my TRS-80 Model Is, and my Atari 800XL. I am not alone.
