[Coco] coco3 floppy drives

[Rod Barnhart]

Ash,

The CM-8 is somewhat hard to come by these days (mine just died!), and
has low picture quality to begin with. NEC made the Multisync 3D which
should work nicely, but requires a custom cable. Also, if you can find
an old CGA monitor, it will also work. With a CGA monitor, there are
two ways you can go about using it with a CoCo3. Either just make a
custom cable, in which case you only get 8 colors, or you can hack
around and bypass the digital circuitry. Finally, Comodore made some
nice monitors that will also work with the CoCo3, again with custom
cables.
