Find the DOS version of MESS, and yes, it can be put into an autoexec bat
file with command line options on boot.

Subject: [Coco] A virtual CoCo4....
Will MESS or one of the other emulators run on a laptop and from DOS? What
I'm considering is tkaing the old P166 laptop I have and configuring it to
auto boot into the CoCo3 emulator. If the emulator can be patchd or
configured to automatically open in a specific setup (like max memory,
number of drives, etc.), then I'd have a virtual CoCo4 ready to go. The next
step would be to have the emulator not only auto start, but load NitrOS9
automatically. Can that be done with a DOS script? My thinking is to strip
down DOS to a minimum to reduce emulator overhead. Anyone see any problems
with this? Will the P166 laptop (remember, a laptop generally runs a bit
fater than a desktop due to better integration -- "seat of the pants" feel
on this one is like a P233 or so desktop) be fast enough to seem at least
like 4-5 MHz CoCo, or at worse a standard CoCo3 at 2MHz? Any problems with
the LCD screen?
