>While digging through some more "stuff" today, I ran across some new CoCo 
>disks. Two are games from Strongware -- "GEM" and "SovietBloc". The most 
>interesting one is from Chris Dekker entitled "VDISK". This is a utility 
>that lets you connect a CoCo3 and PC together (I forget how -- I don't 
>think it's the bit-banger but may be) and lets the CoCo3 access the PC as a 
>virtual hard drive. The hardware info is in a file on the disk. I don't 
>recall if it's OS-9 or DECB, but I suspect OS-9.

>Finally, I have a set of disks from Earl Casper. One has a program called 
>PRT-SER that changes a PIA line from input to output so that DECB 
>applications can send printer output to another computer running a terminal 
>program (for use as a buffer or serial/parallel converter), and a program 
>called SIMPLE that sends and receives disk sectors over the bit-banger at 
>300K baud (actually 298,000). There are also two 3.5" disks with files that 
>allow an Amiga computer to be used as a file handler for a CoCo. The Amiga 
>treats CoCo virtual disks as files, the CoCo thinks they are individual 35 
>track disks. It's an assembly and C coded program, and has the source code 
>on the disks. Full printed docs on these, some BASIC listings and some 
>assembler source code! There is an Amiga and CoCo disk.

>Then I have the three large CoCoFest T-shirts (new, 95 Atlanta, 94 and 95 
>Chicago). All I'd like to have is $10 to pack and ship all this to someone!
