[Coco] CoCo SDC question

[CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts]

Just did the test on my coco3 with 63B09, 512Kb, coco SDC on MPI #3, and
FD500 on MPI#4. using 3 1/2 disks. HD disks with hd hole covered.

It works flawlessly, copying to and from the image to the real floppy. both
copies are identical now.
