So far I have found both PacDude2 and Draconian and both run under MESS
/ RGBDOS. They should therefore run even better on a real Coco hard
drive system.
It looks to me that there are problems with the hard drive systems of
those trying to run some of these games. It may just be the commands
sent when invoking the games and not a system problem perse.
