[Coco] enable no-halt disto driver

[Bob Devries]

The real truth of the matter is that the emulator doesn't *need* a no-halt 
controller. Why would it? It already runs much faster than a standard coco3, 
unless you have a really slow PC to run it on.

The SCII controller was designed to get more speed out of a real coco3. In 
that regard it works very well indeed.
I don't know how much speed difference there is now between NitrOS9 running 
with a Disto SCII (and the correct driver), and with just a standard 
controller, running the rb1773 driver. I would think there is really not a 
huge advantage now.
