[Coco] Does anyone know how to start OS9 Sierra games?

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Yes there is, but the authors webpages are gone.

Someone has provided an alternate but I did not bookmark it and several
searches failed to find them.

If someone does not say where they are I can attach a copy to a post in CoCo
Forums, but I prefer not to.

The supplied VHD for VCC works just fine, but you need to read the
instructions, perhaps read what I was told when I had problems following
instructions.
