[Coco] MESS Emulator

[John Donaldson]

Reason I was asking, is everyone seems to want a way to read COCO disk 
under MSDOS and always wondered why none of the emulators could read a 
REAL COCO disk. I think the only one that will read a COCO disk is 
Kriel's Emulator. I thought that
when John overhauled the JV emulator that he was going to make the 
floppy drive
readable under the emulator. Also wondered why MESS did not have the 
ablitity to
read COCO disks from the PC floppy. We do have stand alone softwater 
that does
 read the  COCO disk, just wonder why it was not intergrated into the 
emulators.
IMRC the C4 emulator will read a C4 floppy using the PC disk drive.
