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

[Frank Pittel]

You are correct. The zip drive should work under nitros (if i ever tried using a
zip drive under nitros I would be more definative) if it's an atapi drive and
you're using superdriver.

The CF card will work under nitros and under the hdb-dos that supports the ide
interface. It won't be available if you use it with the hdb-dos for drivewire.
