[Coco] [Color Computer] Multi-vue Vs. Deskmate 3

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

Oh, boy, do i get errors with this one! I tried the factory OS-9 disk 
thinking my copy could be currupted. Step 2, i get errors.(8d@@@d8 error 
#246)
I then put it back to original (with the >/w), it seem to like that., but in 
step 4 i also get an error 246. if I put the >/2 in, it seems ok, but then 
in step 5 i get a error 216.
oh, boy, i am strying varous different ways
