I understand what your saying but once all your floppies are transferred 
to DSK, you'd be surprised how much easier it is to access all your files.

They can be stored on your PC/MAC with descriptive filenames and 
organised in labelled folders. Then it's a case of point and click with 
a mouse to mount the desired disk into Drivewire.

It means ALL your disks can be backed up very quickly and store multiple 
backups in different locations. It also means that all your files are 
available for use from an emulator (MESS or VCC) as well.

With an emulator on a laptop, you have a portable CoCo along with ALL 
your disks.

The CoCoSDC Cartridge allows you to fit ALL your disks on the cartridge 
and run everything from a real CoCo... no bulky disk drives, multipaks 
and power supplies. And if you need to move to another CoCo, just unplug 
the compact cartridge and plug in to the other CoCo and everything is 
there again instantly.

You can even have an OS-9 "hard drive" system with all files.

Gee, I'm starting to sound like a salesman for CoCoSDC and Drivewire!   :)
