[Coco] 80 pin ultra wide SCSI drives for the Coco

[Kip Koon]

Hi Kandur!
You have all the fun toys!  I never got into using SCSIs just because they
were SO Expensive!  It looks like you have found a way around that!  If I
have some type of SCSI controller for my Cocos, I would try this too!  :)

Most old Coco HD controllers were made for 50 pin SCSI-1 drives.
These days they are low on capacity, high on noise, rare and priced
ridiculously high. 
Enter the 80 pin ultra wide SCSI drives, they are high on capacity, low on
noise and priced reasonably.
Add a cheap 80+64+50+power adapter,  a 64 pin cable with terminator, use
your 50 pin cable to connect it to the old Coco controller.
It's in the testing phase here, now.
