[Coco] DE1 ALTERA coco3

[Dave Philipsen]

Ok, I think I understand what you're trying to do but I honestly don't 
have any experience with vhd files.  I've only ever run a CoCo emulator 
once or twice.

It sounds like you're trying to convert an OS9 vhd file so that it can 
be used with Drivewire.  In theory it shouldn't be too difficult to do 
but I don't know if anyone's come up with a way to do it.
