[Coco] Mounting 720k. Dsk image with Vcc

[Kip Koon]

Hi Rietveld,
Absolutely!  I boot NitrOS9 on a 720KB floppy in VCC when I want to work with large .vhd files.  
As far as DECB or any other modified version of DECB is concerned, though any size floppy can be inserted into VCC,  the only size recognized by each particular DISK BASIC is what that version of DECB has been written/modified for.  For example, DECB and HDBDOS use standard 35trk DSDD 158KB floppy .dsk image file.  CDOS is written for 80trk DSDD 720KB floppies.  I haven't tried 80trk DSDD 720KB floppies with ADOS3 and Extended ADOS3 yet, but since I used to use 80trk DSDD 720KB floppies in ADOS on the Coco 1 and Coco 2 back in the day, it should work fine.  These are just a few examples.  Many Disk BASICs have been created over the years using DECB as a starting point.  I don't know if any of these custom BASICs for the Coco 1 and Coco 2 would work in VCC however.  That would be an interesting experiment I would think.  
Anyone have any time to play with these custom DISK BASICs on VCC to see if any of them would work?
