[Coco] MC10 disk drive interface

[Rogelio Perea]

Sent am e-mail to Darren about grouping the Yahoo! files on the MCX-32 to
share on the CoCo Archive... avoid the Yahoo! shenanigans. I don't think
there is a problem on doing so but since he is the owner of the project it
is better to ask before crossposting. Stay tuned.
