[Coco] 5-1/4″ DS DD 80 track drive, 300 RPM mod

[Kip Koon]

Hi Kandur!
An awesome job at modifying HD 5.25" 80 track drives to work on a Coco
Floppy Controller!  You have done what no one else has never done before to
my knowledge.  Now I can use mine as well.  How did you figure it out?  With
the drive's docs perhaps?  :)  You are a hardware genius yourself!
Fantastic Job!  Take care my friend.

Finally, since 1989, I was able to read my HD backup floppies.
These were created on a 5-1/4? DS DD 80 Track 300 RPM drive.
To find such drives these days is next to impossible.
On the other hand, there are plenty of DS DD 80 Track 360 RPM 5-1/4? drives
around, 
such as the Panasonic JU-475 series. I had a couple of those.
Moving around jumpers, supposed to change it?s rpm to 300.
Tried every possible combination, but it didn?t work with the Coco.
Here is the solution,

cess/
Now that I have DW4 working with both virtual and real floppy drives,
I?d like to find a way to copy the HD backup floppies to virtual floppies
and restore the backup set to a hard drive. 
Can anyone tell, by looking at the directory listing,  which backup program
was used?
