[Coco] Another Coco Virtual Disk Util

[Walt Zydhek]

EmuDisk doesn't change any software, nor does it change any emulator, it
just lets you manage the files on virtual disks. The main purpose of the
utility is to allow a user to transfer files between virtual disks and
windows. This is impossible without some Virtual Disk Utility. The one that
comes with mess (wimgtool) is very simplistic, and I wanted something much
better so I wrote one.  No one said you had to use it.

I still don't buy this concept of emudsk. What is the purpose of an emulator
if not to emulate 100% the hardware ?

You should not change the software to run it under an emulator right ? When
you run windows XP under VIrtual Box or VMWare you don't install emu drives,
you just use the real drivers. That's the way it should be.

This is why I patched MESS to support superIDE CF images witthout any driver
reconfiguration. Just take the CF image and use it.
