No reason why it should not work, the coco drives were plain commodity 
drives. the only 3.5" that wouldn't work were used on systems that used 
variation of the amiga trackdisk format.  That format had no index pulse 
and read and wrote a whole track at a time. That was actually a faster 
write, update the buffer, and write it as soon as the track was acquired 
by stepping to it.  Any std rpm drive with an index pulse just worked.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
