[comp.sys.m6809] DISTO disk Coco 3 fix

knudsen@ihwpt.UUCP (04/08/87)

There is a database file under Hardware Hacking on Delphi,
posted by Marty Goodman, that tells how to hack a DISTO
controller to work cleanly with Coco3.  I did it, IT WORKS!
You must cut 3 traces and solder 3 wires, to gate SCS-
with the E clock.  (the old Cocs already gated like this;
did the Coco 3 bypass it?)

The fix is such that the PC board could easily have been
revised to include it, which I suspect DISTO did on later
versions, which explains the responses I got from folks
claiming that theirs worked just fine.
One less thing to bug DISTO about at RainbowFest...
