EXACTLY!


Way too much work to track down, image, and copy every Coco floppy I 
have to an SD card. MUCH easier to leave them on a floppy and access 
them when, and if I need them.


At that time, I image them in Drivewire.


I don't have a Multi-pak, can't afford one, and already own a floppy 
controller and drives. I have no way to put a CocoSDC and my floppy 
controller on the system at the same time to image my floppies.


I don't feel a lack of a CocoSDC in my life.


Why do people think that the way they want to play with their Coco is 
the way that everyone else should?


I prefer using my Coco the way I always have. With my disk controller 
and disk drives which work perfectly fine.
