[Coco] Back, in the days ...

[George Ramsower]

  Reminiscing the old days, I remember when IBM came out with the PC with 
640K RAM. They said this was more memory than anyone would ever need.
 A five meg hard drive was big enough for anything you could ever use.
 A computer running a clock speed of sixteen megahertz was fast!.... Really 
FAST!
 I'm sure some of you remember the Turbo mode. Wow!
 The first hard drive for the coco was a five meg unit. It wasn't a standard 
SCSI interface, it was something a little different. Somewhere in my arsenal 
of my old documents, I have the schematic of that old controller. I remember 
it had  very few chips.
  I contacted Tandy (way back when) and they faxed me a copy of the 
schematic. It was had drawn and not very pretty.

 Today, the stuff I'm doing with my cocos are so danged handicapped, it seem 
futile. Even though it's slow, it's  fun. I wouldn't trade it for 
anything... almost.


 I hope my cocos last the rest of my life.
