[Coco] Intro and background

[Robert Gault]

If you only use the LCD in native mode, that could indeed be a problem. 
What results do you get using the LCD with the JVC support program, 
VGACHECK.EXE?

I'd expect all emulators not using DirectX system calls will have 
problems with LCD monitors if the monitor is restricted to a native 
resolution. MESS does use DirectX calls.

Can't make any tests at this end as I don't own an LCD monitor.
