[Coco] My CoCo plans - Looking for advice and insight.

[Rick Taylor]

I've already been thinking along those lines, and I have the hardware. If
you're in the bay area, stop by http://www.weirdstuff.com/  - I picked up an
internal zip drive there cheap, plus a bunch of RLL and MFM drives. I'm not
affiliated with them in any way, I just shop there.
Anyway, yeah. I was thinking of going the zip drive route. I'll probably try
all of the above (zip, IDE, CD-ROM, etc) at some point.

not so coldly charted; it's really just a question of your honesty.
