[Coco] Having fun with hacking HDB-DOS

[Bill Pierce]

Ahhhh... I think the others give you the answer to that.
As far as I know, there was only 2 or 3, 2-button joystick/mouse for the Coco.
Deluxe Joystick (white, 2nd release. 1st release was single button)
Deluxe Mouse (white, 2 button)
Pistol Grip Joystick (white)

And just for the record, most of these only mentioned Coco comptability on the box as an afterthought as they were intended for the Tandy 1000 EX which used the same plug and wiring as the Coco joystick.
Notice they were not labeled as "Deluxe COLOR Mouse" or "Deluxe Color Joystick" and the box clearly stated for Tandy 1000 (as well as Color computer).

No, I want to test this in a CoCo 2 using a CoCo 3 joystick. These ROMs are
for replicating some functions of SECB on previous CoCos.
