[Coco] Emulator help

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

If I need to run Jeff's or John's emulators, I built a FAT32 partition on my 
old XP SP3 laptop, so it is just a matter of installing Win 98 SE. (Finally 
retired from being just a web radio as I now have a 16 watt translator close 
by.) Actually I would just boot from floppy into MSDOS 6.6 after setting the 
files up for the emulator using XP. I have Magellan 2.0 which still is the 
best tool for tasks on MSDOS, I even have it installed on my W7 laptop (XP 
Mode).

The instructions for setting up a bootable flash drive were given here long 
ago. If we had a usable search method they could be found. But remember, 
they wear out quickly so don't use for long.

I remember discovering a web site that had software for doing marvelous 
things with a flash drive as boot device.

All in all, VCC is well worth a look and is very friendly as it is a Windows 
program. What exact features of Jeff's and John's emulator do you desire?

I agree that MESS is a mess to be avoided, I only heard about troubles, 
never any reports that it was better for what I ever wanted to do.
