[Coco] Which disk controller

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

Frank,
I am glad you finally got the package, the extra rom pak and floppy game are 
just my way of apologizing for the long delay (that’s what moving and trying 
to find work will do to you). There is no need for any "extra" payment and 
no need to apologize. If you have any problems, please let me know right 
away and I will try to sort it out ASAP.  Your email from me is still being 
returned
-Glen
