BTW, if you are interested in using REAL 80tk drives with CoCo,
it works just fine.  I have two double-sided 80tk drives, and one
40tk drive running OS9, and it is truly wonderful to have a large
/d0/cmds area (UNIX hackers, read "/bin).

What's more, an 80tk drive is not substantially more expensive than
a 40tk drive.  One DS/DD 40tk drive with power supply and case will
set you back about $300 (I got mine at Software Support in Framingham,
MA.)  This is no more expensive than the suggested list price of the
grossly inferior Radio Shack 35tk single-sided drive.
