[Coco] MESS at 16k non-ext was Terminal program for 16K non-ECB coco?

[Arthur Flexser]

You could try using the regular ROM file but modifying it to zero the
bytes at $8000--8001
that normally contain the ascii 'EX' that Color Basic uses to check if
Extended Basic is present when the machine boots up.

Also when I set the properties to 16k, it still comes up showing 24k on a "PRINTMEM" except the Cocoe which seems to have combined roms, so that's not taking either. I tried all three Coco 2s. I don't use MESS regularly so I'm at a loss. I know some of you do custom builds. We need an emulation of Cocos at 4k, 16k,32k with no Ext or Disk Roms. It seems MESS wil allow the Disk rom to be pulled but not Ext Basic.
