I'm not sure where to get the correct ROMs, or how to verify that they 
are the correct ones so I thought I'd try VCC with Wine. Doesn't seem to 
work either.  It will install but when I execute it, it opens up and I 
get a booted up CoCo but I cannot type in it, and the cursor does not 
rotate colours like it should on a real machine.

Having no luck at all here!
