[Coco] Hxc floppy emulator with Coco2

[didier derny]

to tell te truth  I just wanted to checked if it worked...
I have 2 cocoSDC, I find them are far superior

having to create the hfe image is hell

I'll try to find more information on the coco 2 floppy and interface and 
I'll retry the HxC.
perhaps one day we will see an enhanced HxC using an arm and then the 
power to handle
the disk images directly...

one day I'll probably try a gotek too... (when I have found more 
information on this product)
apparently it accept the disk image directly, so it looks more 
interesting...
