Interesting! Selling it as a bundled ready-to-go package was a good idea, especially with DriveWire so entrenched. But there are things you can do with DriveWire that this won't do, like print... at least I'm assuming you can't print with the 20X file software -- it appears to be a file server only (but that's not necessarily a "bad" thing!). I like the Uno solution, but he does sell a ready to go setup with older Compaq laptops. Doesn't say what model the laptops are, but for $30 they are probably original Pentium or at most PII models... and no hard drives. Some don't have working displays -- $10 less for those. Boot from floppy as a headless system controlled from the CoCo. Not a bad idea at all!  Frank Swygert
