[Coco] [Color Computer] Digest Number 1067

[Derek]

Telewriter 128 : I believe if you find an old 5.25" 360K drive and install it in your PC you can take a .DSK image file and write it to a 5.25" floppy that the CoCo can read.  If I remember correctly you actually set the old 5.25" drive up as a 720K  3.5" drive in your PC's BIOS.  The other option is to get a .DSK image up and running in one of the coco emulators and to a serial port to serial port transfer.

Below are some links that may help you find the tools and the disk images you need

It's been a year and I still haven't found a copy of Telewriter 128 yet.  Seems to be a rare 
beast.  Anyone else have better luck?  I thought this was the most prolific word processor 
made for the CoCo3, yet it seems it has not been preserved.  A true shame.
