*Just* enough that they can't read each other's disks without programming.
:-( They're both Microsoft FAT-8. I had the CoCo reading DVI disks with
pure Disk BASIC (well, the first 35 tracks anyway...:) But I don't have a
DVI so I stopped there.

(last time I looked at DVI stuff there were only the Teledisk images
available! the raw sector dump images are new to me!)

Actually (I haven't tried this) but if you've got OS9 running on at least
double-sided floppies or a hard drive and you can download dvi.dat to it,
you can probably use dskwrite to write a physical disk (just change the
sector count to 40*18= 720 sectors...

umm, I may have lost you there? Did I loose you?
