[Coco] [COCO} VCC 1.43beta release

[Bill Pierce]

David, now that this is finally out, I can post some of my preset VHD boots for Becker, HDBDOS and DW. I have preset VHDs I use as templets for creating a new Becker boot when I need them. These boots give access to 4 DW drives, 4 floppies and the Vcc Vhd. The boots are equipped with CoWin & CoVdg as well as all the DW drivers, EmuDsk drivers and Gene Heskett's "My Ram" ramdisk which is THE BEST ramdisk ever. It "Just Works".

Also another thing that might help people with this is there is already a
DriveWire4 disk image ready to load into slot 0. Just use the external
hdbdw3bc3.rom file in the external rom in the floppy controller of VCC.
Then when it boots up you should be able to just type DOS and be up and
running ready to go.  The ROM offsets should be the same in HDBDOS 1.4 so
you could patch the ROM's to also use DriveWireServer as a external HDD.
