[Coco] RE: [Color Computer] Tandy Drives in general

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

Dave, I am no expert when it comes to CoCo (i try), but this should be ok, 
just get an old AT P/S to power the drives in the case. If you look around 
you should be able to find a nice "mini" HD tower that just had 4 or 5 drive 
bays and room for a P/S. you might have to take a dremal and cut a slot to 
run the cale out for the controller.
I seem to remember a "project" page (by one of the form members, I think) 
where they took an old tower case and stuck a CoCo, Multi-pack and Drives 
into it. Obviouslt they had the PS/2 keyboard adapter to hook a regular 
keyboard up to it. This might be a fun little project, for just a few hours 
more than just doing the disk drives. I will see if I can dig up the link.
