Ron,

I cannot say for sure but probably not for the CoCo disk controller, without
some modifications, which are software related.  There was a disk unit and
controller available for the Tano some years ago, not much different than
the CoCo's.

I have cross posted your request to the Color Computer Newsgroup, so there
may be someone there who is familiar and can help you.  For all I know,
there may be someone who knows how to modify disk basic rom so it will work
on a Tano and knows some sources for you.

George
