[Coco] B&B HD Setup

[Bruce W. Calkins]

Yes, I got a copy of the XT-ROM.  Not that I have had any time to do 
anything except file it.  My CoCo hard drive system uses a Disto SCSI 
interface to an Adaptec MFM adapter running a pair of Maxtor XT-2190 drives. 
It has been a while since I have formatted a drive, but I remember it takes 
a while.
