[Coco] Coco SDC and blue screens on Coco3? Newbie questions

I can't reply to all of these, but I know buzzard bait runs on pretty 
much anything.  When it starts it will show a blank screen, red or 
blue.  The idea is to hit the reset button, or on coco 3, hold down F1 
and hit reset button if necessary, so the screen is red.  Once red, a 
keyboard event or a joystick button click should make the game proceed.  
The idea is to get the colors right before you start.  Color section was 
a random event with the coco1/2, hence the "check" at the beginning of 
games.
