[Coco] VCC and HDBDOS

[Kip Koon]

Hi Robert, 
I perused your web site a few days ago and found that I was confused as to which version of RGBDOS I need for VCC 2.00.  Of all the RGBDOS rom files I saw, I could not find one for VCC.  Maybe I missed something in my search.  Thanks for any help you can give.
