[Coco] 4K Coco 1 Color Basic Programming Contest

[Bill Pierce]

If I remember right, it's just a glitch in the menu routines. It's done it since I've been using it. I can select any Coco model or coniguration and I get PAL in the menu. If I try to use the menu to select, it usually crashes XRoar. Also PAL doesn't show artifact colors does it? Mine shows artifacts so it's definately set for NTSC.
According to what you found then, it's the "cocous" that overrides the a lot of the settings.

changing to "-machine cocous" give me a standard CoCo II with ext. 
basic. and 32K.

removing the line appears work fine as well.  BTW on OSX the menu shows 
this as a Tandy CoCo (PAL).

How do I test if it is actually NTSC?

I located a color basic manual on e-bay, I went ahead and ordered it...
