[Coco] Help with MacMAME

[Tony Schountz]

Thanks much, led to  progress. However, now MAME is telling me other rom
files are missing. On exit, this shows up in terminal:

System media audit failed:
coco3.rom (32768 bytes) - INCORRECT LENGTH: 258 bytes
disk10.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
disk11.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
ados.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
ados2b.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
ados3.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
ados3-40.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
ados3-80.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
rgbdos_mess.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
hdbdw3bck.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
hdbdw3bc3.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)

I have the Coco3 rom from both mine that I used with MESS before and the
one from the Coco Archive but both report incorrect length. I found disk10
and disk11 roms on CC Archive but not the others. I'm not sure why I need
all of them; my recollection with MESS was that all I needed was the
coco3.rom or coco3h.rom. Can you copy a list of the rom files you have in
your roms folder?

Thanks.
