[Coco] just got my CoCo SDC - A beginners guide?

[Alexander Wallace]

When I mount the SD card in my mack i can see the SDCEXP.DSK on the root and startup.cfg has 0=SDCEXP.DSK,

So it seems that I have that already, unless you think i need a newer version.

That said, even with an empty, fat32 formatted card, should I not be able to do DIR - and see nothing, but not I/0 Error?

Thanks!
