[Coco] Coco-SDC

I have reviewed as much of the available information as I could for the
Coco-SDC, but I still have a couple of burning questions.
I understand the the SDC fits into the MPI along with a controller for a set
of floppies, and it can be used to transfer files between the two. On my
Coco3, I currently have a set of floppies along with a SCSI hard drive
system, all accessible by HDBDOS in the controller card. I wrote an ML
program to back up one SCSI HD to another, sector by sector, without needing
to use the floppy drives. I have about 30 SCSI HD cartridges filled with
software.
My goal would be to copy every file from each SCSI hard drive cartridge to
the Coco-SDC, just as I can currently to a second SCSI HD cartridge. Is
there any way to do this without going through floppies as an intermediary,
using two separate Coco3 systems sitting next to each other? Is a SCSI HD
compatible with the Coco-SDC, or is that mixing up two systems and will
never work? What would be the easiest method to transfer all the files from
my SCSI HD to the Coco-SDC?
Thanks!
