If Tandy had put a real expansion bus and a DMA controller in the
CoCo... Ah well. 

To use MFM on my CoCo, I'd have to dig up that old XEBEC SASI-to-MFM
board and use the LR-Tech controller, and I don't think I'm going
there.  I don't remember if I did, but when I gave up on that setup I
may very well have taken a hammer to that XEBEC board.  It certainly
deserved it.

You know, that's why my CoCo 3 quit being my main computer... It
simply could not keep a hard drive filesystem uncorrupted.
