Hi all

I am waiting delivery of my first ever Coco. I intend on using it, in the 
first instance, mainly for games but will then proceed to find out more 
what the machine can do.

Although I have drives (3.5 and 5.25) for a BBC Master - I am aware that 
it is possible to use the Coco without a floppy.

What are the general options available - I am aware of the following

1) Drive Wire
2) CF Interface
3) Super IDE 
4) Hard drives

What experience of these options do you fellow Coco users have and in 
general, what is the best option taking into considration ease of use and 
cost.

Also, does a system like MMC exist for a Coco ? (I already have a GoMMC 
for the BBC and MMC64 for the Commodore 64). I suspect that the CF 
Interface is similar, however.

Best wishes
Steve
