[Coco] Help with MacMAME (Tony Schountz)

[Tony Schountz]

Thanks much. I have the coco3h.zip rom file in the roms directory on my
Mac, and Coco3 Hitachi shows up in MAME. However, when I try to launch the
CoCo3, I get this error message on the MAME screen, which is repeated in
terminal when I quit MAME:

2025-03-24 20:22:31.688 mame[61617:13068924] +[IMKClient subclass]: chose
IMKClient_Modern
System media audit failed:

hdbdw3bck.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)
hdbdw3bc3.rom (8192 bytes) - NOT FOUND (coco_fdc)

I don't know what to do from this point but I'd sure like to get it up and
running.

Thanks.
