[Coco] [Color Computer] Help for transfering Coco disk to PC

[David]

Hi there,

You'll find the problem is actually Windows XP - to access Coco disks, 
you may need to use Dos, Windows 98 or some other pre-Windows 2000 
operating system.

This is because XP doesn't support the required low-level access 
routines required to read/write Coco floppies.
