This is fantastic, Barry. Thank you for doing this and for sharing the
source to help others. You rock, dude.
And now a long blab...
Years ago Hot Coco had an article about interfacing an Armitron robotic arm
to a CoCo. I never did get around to building one, but I thought it would be
cool to have the Armitron pull a disk out of a circular bin and insert it in
to the disk drive. This would give the CoCo access to a lot of disks (hey
harddrives were expensive back then).
Drivewire pretty much does this for us without the use of a robotic arm, but
now with your utilities for swapping out images on the fly with the SDC we
have the ability to do this on a stand alone CoCo and the number of disks
that can fit on a microSD card far surpasses anything I could have imagined
accessing with my robotic-arm-disk-delivery-system.
And thanks to all you folks who are not only supporting the CoCo, but who
are driving the CoCo community forward with your innovative hardwire and
software.
P.S. I still want one of those Armitron robotic arms. Hehe.
