[Coco] SuperIDE / HDB-DOS and physical floppies question

[tonym]

I was thinking of maybe splurging for one of these:

No switches, all software... Or maybe a USB variant:

I have a Willem and have used it for PIC programming as well as the
occasional 27Cxxx part.  It's a little clunky (gotta get your jumper
settings exactly right and use the correct version of the SW), but it
works...  The SW is non-intuitive when it comes to PICs, but for EPROMs
it's ok.
