Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4814 (REMOTE DISK)

----
Okay, so Tandy is the source for Remote Disk for the CoCo.  I didn't know that.
Thank you.

You couldn't do what Remote Disk does without special software for both
computers, could you?

Yes, in fact, if you look at Desk-Link by Traveling Software--which we carry
now--or our own WP2DOS Plus, the DOS computer is placed into a TPDD emmulation
mode.  Access by the laptop is via any of the DOS's available, i.e., TS-DOS,
DOS-Plus, POWR-DOS, FLOPPY.CO, DSKMGR.

Based on these examples, perhaps Remote Disk is similar.  I recommend that you
purchase Remote Disk for your CoCO, connect your Model T to your CoCO via a
null-modem cable, then attempt access via any of the Model T-based DOSes.  The
only thing you have to lose is money--and perhaps that is refundable from Tandy
if it doesn't work to your expectations.
