[Coco] lets play canyon climber from floppy disk ( 8 inch floppy disk)

[Salvador Garcia]

 Hello, I shared your video and it garnered some interest. One guy is asking about the 8" drives. What type/brand/model are they? Thanks! Salvador

 That is exactly what I am doing.  The HDS controller is running C-DOS.    It's treating the 8 inch as a 5 1/4.    But not able to fully format it to a full 158k.  So I can put files on it but I can't do a full disk.    There is just enough slop in the controllers parameters that the coco can read and write to the 8inch.

If the 8" floppy is formatted as a 158K disk, then I don't think it
matters to DECB. True???
