[Coco] Sdc multi disk use

[My Email]

That would be easier but I grouped the roms into coco1/2, coco3, utilities. That way a user could decide what pack of roms to flash. If a user doesn't have a coco3 then he won't need to flash those roms

Anyway all three versions work well so I think I will call the project complete. It's not that big of a deal to push the sdc button to swap the disks.   Still faster than the physical disk swap

And I also added some useless fluff by having the mass flasher speak the name of each. Bin that it's flashing

You could just combine all the flash data into one large file and access it
via the LBA mode if the goal is a simple firmware flasher for the CoCoFLASH
cart from the CoCo SDC.

That’s how the firmware flasher I wrote for the CoCo PSG works (512K).
