[Coco] If, then...else?

[Stephen H. Fischer]

My system used one 720K 3.5" drive and one 720K 5-1/4" drive in the end.

They were identical to OS-9  and I swapped them between /D0 /D1 with a 
switch.

So, I started with two 5-1/4" 720 drives and could have ended up with two 
3.5" 720K drives.

I also had a 40 Track 5-1/4 "/D3 active FWIW, single side only and DECB was 
rarely used of course.
