==========================

That is asking for a can-o'-worms!  My main machine was a CoCo 3 with 6309, 
protector and 1 meg upgrade with a Disto controller hooked to a mixed set of 
floppy drives and a pair of Maxtor XT-2190 hard drives through an Adaptec 
SASI-2-MFM board.  Secondary, Tertiary, and quaternary CoCos were a CoCo 3, 
CoCo 2 and a 128k CoCo 1, all with 2 or more double sided drives.  Printers 
leaned toward the DMP-106s, 132s and some Okidata 9 pin machines.  Backup 
hardware exists, but it is all in storage at this time and life keeps 
getting in the way of my CoCo time.

I promised someone a (non)working CoCo 3 that I still have to dig out.  I 
even have a CoCo 3 that was customized for some sort of exercise machine.
