[Coco] HDBDOS (IDE) & MESS (Coco2)

[Juan Castro]

You set up the DW server normally; in the configuration wizard, along with
CoCo 1, CoCo 2, CoCo 3 etc, there's an option for the Becker port. I don't
remember if it's called Becker, Network, TCP/IP or whatever, but it's
easily recognizable.

In the XRoar side, you need some non-obvious command-line parameters I only
have in my computer at home. I'll have them later for you. (If I forget,
fire me a private e-mail.)
