This is my favorite video of all the video's you done. I'm the one who done the mac version of this video. First of all I want to say is I'm going miss you. Hope everything will be great for you. Now there is one thing I'd like to know. I've looked and looked online to try to find "Galagon" for the coco to download so i can use it with Driveware. But I just can't find it. Thanks once again for some great videos. Hope you come back soon.

@hsjfender If you'd like you could PM me your email address and I could send you the virtual dsk with Galagon on it. I'd be happy to do so. :)

Thanks for the kind words as well and I should be back on youtube eventually.

Absolutely fantastic video 'leaf... i've bookmarked cloud 9 ready for a purchase!

I've got the SIO2PC lead for the atari 8 bit which works the same way and it's great for trying games that weren't available in the UK. I've also got a C64 one but there is no software / documentation so it's a PITA trying to figure it out...

Oh, and the Leafs don't suck... they are just constantly unlucky :p

The Leafs have been unlucky since 1967 LOL :D

My first computer was a silver COCO with 16K RAM. I was 13 years old, and that exposure eventually led to my software development career.  The book that came with that computer mad it SO SIMPLE to teach yourself programming. I was making games like Breakout within 2 weeks.

@UKRetroGames I believe its the same as the bit-banger port. Good luck with the MicroSD card. It looks like a great product but be wary that it may take a long time to actually get it as Roger appears really backed up on making these and shipping them.

Interesting product. I just wonder if there is less ram available to programs because of the extend disk software you had to load first in... RAM
