[Coco] Coco disks

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

As I want to finish the Rainbow on Tape / Disk project as soon as possible (Way over due), when you get the time will you please check if you have any of the missing Rainbow on Tape / Disks. The early years (1982-1984) and the late years (1990-1993) are missing many months.

No hurry about getting them to .dsk format, if there are none then I will finish up the project.  Perhaps someone will loan you a Drivewire enabled ROM cart or a COCOSDC and MPI :) .

That number of disks needs to be converted with help from others, some of the Rainbow Disks may require special methods as both sides are often used and some have both DECB and OS-9 parts on the same side. Other disks may have this mixture also. Many will have been done and are online already. 

TIA

SHF
