[Coco] The ultimate VCC hard disk image using EmuDsk

[Salvador Garcia]

Thank you Richard! Much appreciated!


Tried that, no space and got same result.


I know I am doing something stupid, or maybe it is because I am not doing it. I also tried dir 255
and got ?DN ERROR.


Tried dir 0. Got back the listing for the floppy that I have mounted at that location.


I poked around some more. info follows (whether it is relevant or not, I don't know)


Menu option Cartridge/MPI Slot n


4: FD502 26-3133
3: Empty
2: Orchestra 90 26-3143
1: Empty


Configuration:


Set to use hitachi 6309
2MB RAM
