Slick, Mark,  This will work 99.8% of the time on a CoCo 3 for RS-DOS.  OS-9
runs under different rules though.  (And one or two other programs.)

I had to boot King's Quest 3 from the 5.25" disk to COBBLE a 3.5" disk.
Ultimately all ten 5.25" sides of King's Quest 3 fit on one bootable double
sided 3.5" disk.

This should be more reliable for most of Sylvain's needs though.  Ultimately
three 3.5" drives turned out to be overkill for a CoCo, especially once I
had a hard drive.
