[Coco] Call for Volunteers

[Steve Ostrom]

Ken, could you describe how the card connects to the computer (I assume 
it fits in a mother board slot) and especially how the drives are 
connected to the card.  Do you need two drives for a drive to drive 
transfer, or does it use memory and prompts for a switch in diskettes? 
Do the drives need a power supply?  Do I just connect my Coco drive 
system to the Catweasel?

Thanks!
