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. > There would have to be some software for the Model T too, wouldn't there? 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.
