[Coco] Hard Drive Partition

[Mark Marlette]

Frank,

We work with what we have. :) Making our products work on all NTSC 
CoCos is not an easy task. There are differences between the 1-2 & 3 
hardware and software wise. I remember testing the SIDE one whole 
summer and fixing/reporting issues to Boisy and visa-versa.

My order back log is under ten now, down from just under thirty last 
week. We are catching up.

We test, test and test some more. Boisy and I both are very busy and 
are free time is spent on development. So quality and docs are #1. I 
recall only one person every having so much trouble that the 
interface had to be sent in. That interface worked fine here. The 
user didn't know his address map and had the TC^3 mapped to the same 
address space as his SC-II.... Oppppppppsssssssss.

Once that was resolved.... All was well. Another reason to use 
scripts and not the wiz bang boot editors. They are fine to prove a 
point but then save the module and update your scripts....

Me patient? Not many would say that about me. :)

Thanks and Happy CoCoing!!!
