[Coco] OVCC - Setup Guide

[Andrew]

Ok - replying to my own post - I think I see what needed to be done - 
which is weird in one way, and sorta-intuitive in another:

Basically - you have to "plug cartridges in" to each other - but you 
select the libs (in linux, the .so file - in windows I think the .dll 
files) that represent the devices (unless it's a game cart - then you 
select the .ccc image file). So you first plug in the mpi, then into the 
mpi plug in the disk controller, etc.

This really all needs to be written up in a clean and clear manner...
