[Coco] info for fd-502 drives

Check the cable connector inside the FD-502 Case. If there are missing pins, 
you don't have to worry about changing the jumpers. If there are jumpers, 
they will be right next to the connector labeled; DS0, DS1....

I'm told you need to add a small 12v fan to the case if you add a second 
drive as it will overheat otherwise.

I don't know how you'd use that EX/HX drive on a Coco. I don't think it will 
work without major modifications.
