[Coco] CoCoSDC: moving RGB-DOS to CoCoSDC

Another question... I had a SCSI drive setup using a Kenton SCSI interface (and later, SuperSCSI). I had Disk BASIC disks and OS-9 disks. I think I last touched these at the CoCoFEST! where the SuperIDE came out with a Compact Flash slot. I remember being able to copy my hard drive (OS-9) over to a CF card, probably since OS-9 could have drivers for both SCSI and IDE.

But what about RS-DOS stuff? I have SyQuest EZ135 SCSI disks with RGB-DOS disks, but I wouldn't be able to have both RGB-DOS and CoCoSDC DOS running at the same time to BACKUP images...

Has someone been down this road already? If I had a way to hook it up to a computer, I could image it. Actually, thinking back, I recall hooking up a parallel port ZIP (or SyQuest?) to my PC laptop and writing a C DOS program that read sector by sector to a disk file, then using that in an emulator... But hooking these old SCSI devices up to a modern system is not something I could do (unless I found a cheap SCSI/USB interface).

Thoughts?
