 Since there is currently no way to put a DSK file into my coco and make a 
disk... and it's impossible for me to do so on this XP box, how about 
someone would develop a way to convert a DSK file to a disk on a coco? It's 
quite easy for me to transfer the DSK file from this XP box to my coco via 
the RS232 port. Been transferring stuff since W-95.

 It's odd that someone hasn't built an application to create a DISK from a 
DSK image on a coco, or at least get the files out of it. After all, it's 
all about the coco!!!, by golly.

 Also, if one or two applications, such as Tmode2 and Xmode2 are the object, 
why put them on a DSK image? If they were separate files, I would just 
transfer the two files from this box, to the coco, set the attributes and 
viola! a working app.

 If I only used an emulator on this XP box, then I could understand the DSK 
stuff. However, I use a COCO3!.  Please make two files, one for the coco and 
one for the emulator.

 Actually(in this case) it would be three files. DOH!

K.I.S.S. !!
