Remarkable is right!  Welcome to the club.

These can still be found at some Shacks for $70 or so.
Officially they are discontinued (don't ask me to explain why!).

CHeapest and almost the best is the Burke & Burke interface adaptor
and OS9 device drivers.  It lets you plug one of those cheap < $300
IBM-PClone hard disk controller and drive kits into your Coco.

If you can't find a Multi-Pak, contact DISTO about their floppy
disk controller with a hard-disk port.  THis requires an external
SASI controller, I think.
