[Coco] MAXDUINO ULTIMATE

[coco at jechar.ca]

Correction "On Startup" means that on the startup or
the raspberry pi any cassette command by the coco will
cause the menu to run.

Also the raspberry pi could interpret CLOAD "@#n
as set the directory for loading files to n.
CSAVE "@#n as set ther directory for saveing files to n.
( Remember n=1 to 255 )

Finally CLOAD "@DW to load drivewire and

CSAVE "MODE=PROXY"   and  CSAVE "MODE=HOST" could
set the modes.

Menu would not really be necessary !
