[Coco] Header Virtual Disk

Is correct
But XROAR can use header "DK" VDK for both dragon and coco
therefore may have coco discs, with header VDK

There are also records for Dragon NITROS with VDK Header
and could have disks for Coco NITROS with VDK Header

In the end it is clear that one thing is the virtual disk format and other operating system format.
Therefore the two headers, adding bytes, flat format (RAW) are the VDK, JVC and (sometimes)
But not both at once
