Unfortunately, those drives for the amiga have no index pulse output. The 
amiga disk driver read and wrote an entire track at a time and did not 
care where in the disks rotation it was when it did it.

So unless you can figure out how to get a valid index pulse out of them, 
they are not going to work on the coco, ever.
