rebooter Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This 3rd party dual drive was in a CoCo 3 lot I purchased recently. I never had a CoCo back in the day and wondered what the two switches were on the front, some sort of mod for density support or? I was able to load up a disk just fine with one of the drives.

krslam Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just a guess: maybe the switch overrides the write-protect sensor. This was a common mod on other 8-bit drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebooter Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Ah, that's right, I dimly remember that mod. I assume the main reason would be to use the flip side without needing a disk notcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
