[Coco] Rom Pac Cases was Got the SDC

[Bill Pierce]

If you guys can't find emclosures for the SDC, if you have (or know where to locate) some old 8-track tape (audio) catridges, they can be made to work.
Here's what I posted some time ago:

In another discussion on this list, I mentioned that old 8-track tape catridges 
could be used to make cases for rompaks.
In browsing in my old mags for some other info, I ran across the article that I 
got the rompak info from.
The article was in the March 1982 issue of "80 Microcomputing Magazine" on page 
338. Ironically, the article is by our own Dennis Kitsz :-)
Here is a link to the actual article which also highly details how the Coco uses 
the ROMS as well. The part about the 8-track carts is near the end of the 
article.

The actual directions are on page 343
I hope this is of interest to those who are doing rompak projects :-)

Hi,

Thank you Bill for the resume.  It will be very usefull.

Mine just cross the border.  It was sent about the 10th of Frebruary.

I also don't know yet what I will do for the enclosure.  If someone have an idea 
please let the community know it.  May be something like using a 3d printing 
service available on Internet?

Sylvain

I should have said 5 days from when he emailed me saying he was sending
it.  Could have been another day till he got it to the USPS.  But I was
impressed with the short time as I expected 2 weeks as well.
