I found a couple of things in my archive, and I know (I think) I bought 
one of 'em - maybe both - because they were both kinda "weird", and 
seemingly "not of the main community", and I wanted them for my collection.

I think they were both offered on Ebay at one point.

One was called the "TRS80 CoCo HI-Speed storage system" - and it used an 
Arduino and SD card, attached to the serial (bit banger) port. According 
to notes I have on it, is mentioned:

	USER's Guide for CoCo  File server
	By: John E Hieber (C) May 2015
	Rev 2.5 (C) June 2017

The other one was something called "TRS80 Color Computer Hi-Speed Tape 
interface, 6000 baud" - but it appears to be a board you mount inside 
the case, and it provides an alternative jack for audio I/O - so 
probably not what you were looking for. The user's name of the Ebay 
listing, though, was "john-ed" (I don't know if both are related, as in 
the same guy?)...

Hmm - I also found (I think) the software for the above "HI-Speed 
storage system", and manual (and I think I have things a bit messy in my 
archive I guess); at least, it lists the same guy, and I have an .EML 
file saved. It had a couple of email addresses included, but I don't 
know if I could or should share them (the email addresses - I doubt I 
can share the other information about the device)?

Hmm - and the assembly code listing he sent me also seems to have his 
physical (mailing) address included...

So I must've purchased that particular one, and it's in some kind of box 
somewhere in my mess-o-coco junk.
