[Coco] Crunch? Urbane

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Jeff's CoCo2 Emulator, the first (of now how many emulators?) was used.

So a later emulator has imposed an requirement that the original first 
emulator does not meet.

Does this mean that all ".dsk" files created by his emulators are now non 
compliant?

Are all ".dsk" images copied from actual CoCo Floppies now non compliant?
