Welcome back, Jim! :-)

1. I have two drives... a Seagate 157N and a 296N, I think.  But the Quantums
seem to be very popular.

2. The stdfonts module is simply a default.  Do like you did on the CoCo...
merge one of the fonts and use "display 1b 3a c8 xx" where xx is the buffer
number (yell if you've never done this on the coco).

3. I think PCF use is waiting on a newer floppy driver.  For transferring data,
I'd use a null modem between the computers, perhaps?  Or copy to coco disk, use
coco to xfer to pc disk for now.

4. Nah, not right now.  The CM-8 works well.  The DiamondScan is much brighter
for room presentations tho, I've found.

5. For playm, you'll need twice as much ram as the size of the sound file (for
conversion from mono to stereo data).  Oh. If you don't have the I/O board,
then you can't play those files anyway :-)

6. My fault on the boot to weird colorset, a glitch in setting things up,
somewhere.

* I finally use umacs a bit... the knowledge came in _real_ handy when I got a
guest login on a Unix system.  Otherwise I hate it :-)
