[Coco] Floppy Controller chips

[Arthur Flexser]

I seem to recall that the Fujitsu MB8877A disk controller chip was at least
more or less compatible with the WD ones used in the CoCo, though I think
there were some minor differences.  I know I used one for a while, though I
don't remember what model controller I had at the time.

A quick google found a place that has used pulls for $12.50:
