[Coco] running RSDOS games from hard drive?

This is your problem.  RGB-DOS is written to read the entire sector 
into memory.  If you have a 512 byte sector hard drive this causes 
problems with some M/L programs.  HDB-DOS addresses this issue by 
reading ONLY the first 256 bytes of a sector into memory, discarding 
the rest.

There are other M/L programs which can suffer from this problem.  My 
suggestion is to get HDB-DOS.
