[Coco] CocoSDC

There are also several programs which access disk using their own
routines. These are programs that generally won't work with Drivewire
or any other type of SD storage device (Superdrive?)

Because CoCoSDC looks to the CoCo like a standard disk controller, any
software written for the CoCo to access disk works as normal. CoCoSD
emulates the floppy hardware interface and the CoCo thinks it's
writing to a floppy when it's actually writing to a PC FAT formatted
SD card. This card is then readable directly on a PC using a common
USB SD card reader.

I can transfer the content of a mounted DSK between the CoCo and a PC
using drivewire which is also built in to CoCoSDC.

And the added RS-DOS commands (especially with Darren's latest update)
makes it easy navigating the SD card structure and mounting DSK's.

I love my CoCoSDC! Best CoCo investment I have made!

 I assume you mean copy-protected stuff?

 What puzzles me there is how do you get the game or whatever onto the
SD
 card in the same copy-protected format it had on the diskette? Seems
like
 accomplishing that would in many cases be more difficult than
removing the
 copy protection entirely.

 (The links in your post don't get me to anyplace that I can find that
gives
 the "greater detail" you refer to.)
