[Coco] CLOAD without ?IO ERROR

[Mark Marlette]

Best time to own a CoCo is now! Sure the old days were GREAT and
nostalgic but there is so much more this machine can do. The
development tools are fast, cross platform, Roger’s IDE,
etc…Which brings me to….

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Please don’t take this the wrong way but it seems like an OT post
generates more traffic than a real CoCo post. I do VERY little work
with a cassette these days but I would rather read that than the
“other traffic”. Everyone is busy but yet there is time to
go on and on about these OT posts. If they were to sit down and work on
a project or part of a project. Who knows what might surface. ??

I have had several requests for a tool that would allow you to transfer
files or complete .dsk images directly from the PC/Mac to a compact
flash HDB-DOS device. A great way to transfer files cross platform. I
can do hardware and software but love to play with the hardware on the
CoCo. Test Engineer during my daytime job, we use M$ Visual Basic. This
seems like a very useful tool to have and not a very big task. Problem
is that we (Boisy and I) have our plates full.

Anyone want to step up to this task or to some of the outstanding tasks
that have surfaced and yet to be completed? I am I the only one wanting
more from the CoCo after all of these years?

SuperBoard has us both sucking wind...But it is so sweet......
