[Coco] VCC emulator

Well I answered my own question on this one, I was able to find some  
of my Virtual Disk Files and mounted and ran a few programs from  
them. My Sands of Egypt one doesn't seem to work though, that sucks.  
I know it's a good file because I've run it under other CoCo emulators.

Another thing I noticed is, when set the Composite Monitor Mode to  
play games that use artifacting, there's that old issue that  
sometimes the screen is Red and Sometimes Blue, depending on the  
game, the colors can be off...Reset on a real coco used to fix it  
after a few times. This doesn't seem to work on VCC so the Tom Mix  
Donkey Kong clone has blue and red reversed.

Any thoughts?
