[Coco] TRS80 CoCo LOAD/SAVE 20x faster than CLOAD/CSAVE (to/from PC)

[rietveld rietveld]

I bought one of John's complete uno server systems.   It comes with everything except the case.  I found that the uno fits nicely in a 3d printed Rom pak and runs well with a battery bank making it a true standalone server.

Interesting! Selling it as a bundled ready-to-go package was a good idea, especially with DriveWire so entrenched. But there are things you can do with DriveWire that this won't do, like print... at least I'm assuming you can't print with the 20X file software -- it appears to be a file server only (but that's not necessarily a "bad" thing!). I like the Uno solution, but he does sell a ready to go setup with older Compaq laptops. Doesn't say what model the laptops are, but for $30 they are probably original Pentium or at most PII models... and no hard drives. Some don't have working displays -- $10 less for those. Boot from floppy as a headless system controlled from the CoCo. Not a bad idea at all!  Frank Swygert
