[Coco] Help with floppy disk setup - first time user

[Blake Patterson]

Ugh.

So, I get the cart fixed, insert it - see Disk Extended BASIC come up -- and the keyboard on my CoCo 3 no longer works. Remove the FD-500 cart, power back on - same. Unplug / replug in power. With or without DriveWire cable -- nothing gets a keyboard response at all from my keyboard. 

WTH??

Not like the ribbon cable flew out -- no jiggling. It worked fine right after the memory upgrade.

Did something blow? I did not insert or remove carts while power was on. I may have unplugged / replugged drives into the FD-500 while power was on. Did I kill it? Can that really be the deal here?
