[Coco] Will Dragon 32 Cassette software work on a coco?

For me, it would be more fun to convert the games to work properly on the
CoCo.  Shouldn't be very difficult in most cases.

Now that I think more about it, I suspect that copy protection removal
might be necessary in many cases.  Lots of times, cassette copy protection
made use of the low memory ROM vectors in the $1xx area, which would be
different on a Dragon.
