[Coco] quick dw hdb-dos question

[Bill Pierce]

David, but doesn't hdbdos reset the poke on almost any kind of I/O access?
That's why you had to make another becker rom for games :-)
We need the same for dw rom (really a build for all roms... gamer versions)
Remember the becker roms are
hdbdw3bc3 - normal high speed rom
hdbdw3bck - no poke for games (only goes into high speed for I/O)
