Then you need to supply it with 12V. Easiest way is to use a Multi-Pak, but you could hack it for a wall-wart (make sure it's well regulated though!) or other external power supply. The CoCo1 had 12V on the cartridge port, no others did though.

Recently, maybe at the fest, someone told me there was also a mod for the later floppy controllers. I'd never heard of this. Anyone know about it?
