[Coco] SDC's fixed; but not sure why? DANGEROUS ?

My guess would be that one of your CoCo 3s has a 6309 and the other has a
6809.  Executing a disk ROM cartridge at $C000 instead of $C002 will likely
result in one or more illegal 6809 instructions being executed, which are
treated differently (error trapped) by the 6309 than by the 6809 (ignored).
