I was pleasantly surprised at what could be done with just basic
equipment. There was a whole lot of satisfaction from just making it
all work. Saving files on the CoCo took for ever...even after I
upgraded from a tape drive to a single sided floppy drive. As much as
I have good memories about the "simpler times" I have to admit that
upgrading to a PC running windows made it easier to swap back and forth
between frequency lists and messages.

The CoCo worked great along with an AEA PK232MBX for several
RTTY modes and cw.

I had a DX302 hooked to a C128 and an AEA CP1, it worked pretty good,
would
print it out as fast as it read it.

Wish I had seen this post several weeks ago because I was at an
estate sale
about a week ago that had a bunch of Commodore gear. Wasn't
interested so
didn't pay much attention but do recall a stack of 1571 drives. Rob
