[Coco] Retrieving Files from Coco .DSK files back to aCocoformated disk?

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi, 

Be careful with Jeff's "Retrieve" utility, it has a flaw that John fixed. 

AFAIK Jeff's format utility was fine and unchanged by John. 

Only John's emulator has the 6309 support.

Well, as the Win 98 SE discussion is heating up I expect some one to post a link to the USB install instructions. 

So: 

ftp://www.rtsi.com/RSDOS/incoming/johncollyer_website.zip

It includes a HDD ready to run with the "C" Compiler and other stuff.
