[Coco] My CoCo plans - Looking for advice and insight.

[Jim Cox]

SuperDriver provides ATA/IDE/ATAPI support for NitrOS-9, but not for
HBD-DOS.  So the answer to my question of whether the ZIP will work depends
on whether I run NitrOS-9 or HBD-DOS.

>From what I gather, CF cards should work regardless, so I should be able to
swap those if I want.
