[Coco] CoCo Emulator on Netbook?

[Steve Batson]

Stephen,

Probably both. I have both versions that I've used on other systems. I just 
installed DOSBox on it last night. I need to do some more work and get a 
folder setup and mounted with the CoCo Emulators so I can try them out it 
DOSBox. I know that they run in DOSBox on my windows 7 laptop.

Can you point me to John Collier's Emulator? I can't seem to find it. 

Anyway, I do have a bunch of memory sticks, so if I do end up going to the 
boot from a stick method, I have that option :)

Thanks.

The CoCo2 emulator or the CoCo3 emulator? Or both?

The CoCo2 emulator has a test you may want to run to check to see if the 
graphics are good to go with the CoCo3 emulator.

If that test passes, then I suggest you switch to John Collier's version 
with 6309 support and bugs fixed, especially if you want to run NitrOS-9.

Which emulator you will be most happy with depends on what you plan to do 
with it.

Sticks are so cheap now that you can have both mess and John's available.
