[Coco] Ghana Bwana on my Coco3 not working but ok on Coco2

[Bob Devries]

Robert:

There is something missing from the DSKI$ and DSKo$ commands... the sector 
number!

It should read DSKI$ 0,34,X,A$,B$ where X is the sector number.

Can you enlighten us, mate?

DSKI$, DSKO$, and MID$ are Disk Basic commands. Thus you have to take
the statements and make a Basic program out of them. Then run the Basic
program.

10 DSKI$ 0,34,A$,B$
20 MID$(A$,106,1)=CHR$(254)
30 MID$(A$,122,1)=CHR$(254)
40 DSKO$ 0,34,A$,B$
