[Coco] Got the SDC

[Shane Broadbent]

Hi all, 
 
Shane Broadbent from Melbourne, Australia. 
My first post here, been a lurker for a long time. 
Just wanted to thank a few people. 
Darren Atkinson for the CoCo SDC (really loving it). 
Mark Marlette (Cloud-9) for the 512K module. 
Brian Goers is arranging a couple of Glenside IDE 
boards for me to play around with. 
 
I have had a bit of a play with the SDC card after hacking 
an old Program Pak case to partially (~75%) enclose it. 
It at least makes inserting and general handling a bit 
more friendly. 
I have done the basic running of programs from the SD card,
NOS-9 etc. also loaded stuff via the drivewire server
(from SDC-DOS) and flashed  SDC-DOS into flash bank slot 7
just to try the writing to flash.
All has worked without a hiccup. 
 
Must say also, my postage experience with the first 
two items has been excellent, with both taking exactly 
10 days from post to delivered. 
The 512K memory was posted on the 4th Feb. and delivered 
on the 14th. 
The CoCo SDC was posted on the 7th Feb. and delivered 
on the 17th...very consistent so far. 
Anyway, it's been great reading all the discussions and 
learning a lot. Thanks. 
 
 
Cheers, 
Shane
