The drives in the model 4 will work just fine with a Coco controller.  Though 
as long as you have the case open anyway, you might as well replace the 
drives with double-sided.  Planning to replace the tube or leave it 
monochrome?

I've got an old (as in very early) Compaq luggable case I intend to use for a 
Coco 3 repack.

I think boys might benefit from owning a Barbie doll; every young man
should understand what an expensive proposition it is to cohabitate with
a narcissistic woman built like a stripper.  --  Tony Woodlief
