[Coco] VCC 1.43beta question

[Bill Pierce]

Tony, you'll have to ask Robert about this.That "update" has been on Roberts site for many years and I thought Joeseph (Vcc author) had included that version in Vcc 1.4.2, but I may be wrong. I know Robert was providing rgbdos for him.
BUT, v1.4.3b was meant to use hdbdos. Rgbdos can be used but only in "non becker" mode. It will crash in Becker mode.

Strange. There's an Update.Zip on Robert Gault's site:

http://aaronwolfe.com/robert.gault/Coco/Downloads/Updates.zip


That says in the readme.txt:

"Here are updated RGBDOS ROMs for emulators.

A problem with incorrect treatment of disk I/O errors has been corrected for 
JVC, MESS, and VCC.

New feature for the JVC Coco3 emulator with two .vhd drives and recent versions 
of MESS that support two .vhd drives.
DRIVE#0 selects the first .vhd drive.
DRIVE#1 selects the second .vhd drive.
When using emulation that supports only one .vhd drive, just don't use the 
DRIVE# command.

INSTALLATION
Pick the appropriate file and rename it as required for your emulator.
JVC - rename disk11.JVC to disk11.rom
MESS - with versions that do not complain about bad ROMs, rename disk11.MESS to 
disk11.rom
     - with versions that do complain, use RGBDOS.ROM along with the stock 
disk11.rom. Mount the RGBDOS.ROM in the
       cartridge slot.
VCC - replace your current fd502.dll with the enclosed."



This is separate from the standard RGBDOS.zip file he has for download in the 
same place.

Tony,
In Vcc 1.4.3b, you use the fd-502.dll in slot 4, then in the "FD-502 Config" use 
"external rom" and use "hdbdw4cc3.rom". You do not use RGBDOS as it is not 
drivewire compatible. If you do not plan to use dw4, then I would just use Vcc 
1.4.2 with rgbdos. 1.4.3b was only modded for the Becker port and is no 
different than 1.4.2 with the exception of the port.
And as far as I know, the rgbdos in the installation and the one on Robert's 
site are the same.
You can also try the Vcc starter kits on my site which are set up and ready to 
run. All you have to do is mount the VHDs and there's instructions to do that.

Were the RGBDOS changes in the update.zip file from Robert Gault's website 
incorporated into the FD502.DLL in the Vcc 1.43beta package?
Or do we still need to use the FD502.DLL from Robert's update.zip file with Vcc 
1.43beta?

Tks!

Tony
