[Coco] CoCo Disk Drives

[Rick Thornquist]

Since you guys were so great answering my previous question, I have another
for you.

When I acquired my CoCo 3, I got a 26-3029 controller and two disk drives,
a 26-3029 and a 26-1164.  I didn't get any manuals, so I just connected
them up in what looked to be the right way.  I have the 26-3029 connected
to the middle of the floppy cable (as drive 0), and the 26-1164 connected
to the end of the cable (as drive 1).  The setup does work for the most
part, but there is some flakiness, mainly with the 26-1164.

My question: Is there some configuration, like with drive select dip
switches or terminators, that I'm supposed to do?  Also, my Internet
digging suggests that the 26-1164 is a TRS-80 disk drive - is it also
supposed to work with the CoCo?  .

Thanks!
