[Coco] Regarding a cheap floppy emulator

What I would do, is pick up a cheap, sub-$100 PC on Craigslist or from a 
recycler. Install a 360k or 1.2mb Floppy drive in it, make up a Drivewire 
cable, install Drivewire, and get a Drivepak for my Coco, and use Drivewire 
as my virtual floppy drive.

You could then image new disks on the server computer and add them to your 
collection.

I think I read that people are even working on using a Raspberry PI as a 
Drivewire server.

You might find that the easiest thing to do.
