[Coco] 1.2Mb floppy drives

[Kip Koon]

Hi Bruce, Bill, et. all,
I believe I have a copy of that hack or at least have seen it before.  I'll have to look around and see what I can find.  I have 1.2MB drives I would also like to use on the Cocos.

There is a serious hack for the original 12 volt CoCo disk controller 
(26-3022?) to do this.  I doubt the parts can be obtained these days.
