[Coco] VCC 2.0.2 with full 6309 emulation. Runs Nitros9 EOU 6309.

[L. Curtis Boyle]

Ok, found copies of the ROM’s, and I have it booting up. Some observations so far:
1) NitrOS9 EOU - the initial boot screen on a real Coco (and MAME) is white text on a dark blue background.  VCC 2.02, like 2.01, is still showing it as black on dark blue. This is palettes 12 and 13 on a stock VDG screen, if I remember correctly.

2) A brief test of integer divide in BASIC09 (which uses DIVQ on EOU Beta 4) works, and matches to proper results for the small sample that I did.
