[Coco] MESS Emulator

[Robert Gault]

You probably are running into the problem that was just discussed here in 
length. Before you use the floppy on the Coco, run DSKINI.EXE on it from 
the PC. Then you can write to it on the Coco and read it on the PC from an 
emulator.

When I say that the JV emulator works with real floppies, I'm not just 
repeating the docs that come with the emulator. I'm reporting actual 
results on my WIN98SE system.
