My New Coco 3

[jmdlcar]

I now have a Coco 3, Mini MPI, Coco SDC, FD-502 Floppy Drive Setup and 2 JoySticks. Later I will get 512 Memory. I had this same setup in 1986 @71 I wanted to get it back and I am on my way getting it.

 

I am looking for another FD-502 Floppy Drive only to add another drive so I will have 2.

Congrats!  After that, all you'd need would be a SEGA Genesis joystick adapter (the closest thing to the CoCo to Atari adapters from yesteryear):

I understand there was a patch for the FD-502 Controller to Read and Write to the FD-502 Double Sided Floppy Drive. Has anyone else heard or seen it? If so do you care to share it?

 

I want it run or use OS-9 Level 2 and the *.dsk files are 360kb Floppy Disk.

Long as your OS-9 boot disk is already setup for DSDD access you should be good to go!!! Unless your Drive is on a Single sided floppy drive.. Tell us what OS-9 floppies you have? and we can tell you if it is ready to go mate..

Btw find our coco facebook group you can get heaps off help in there as well...  TRS-80 Color Computer (CoCo) is the groups name....
