[Coco] Mess 3 roms are not working

[Robert Gault]

It is better to create a separate ROM sub-directory for each Coco you want to run. So, for a 6809 
Coco3 there should be  /ROM/COCO3  .

If you have a program you can use to read the ROMs in Hex format, make sure there are no LOADM extra 
bytes in the .rom images.

Report exactly how you are starting mame and all errors mame gives you. With a correct directory 
structure you would use
mame coco3
to start the 6809 Coco3 version.

Now if you are using a Windows PC, you will probably find that is much easier to use MAMEUI or 
MESSUI than MAME. You will have a convenient package for configuring each Coco version you want to 
use and the disk images associated with each Coco version.
