[Coco] Hxc floppy emulator with Coco2

[Arthur Flexser]

With DSKINI, the track first goes from 0-34, then goes back to Track 0 to
begin the verify pass.  Sounds like the first sector it attempted to verify
failed the attempt to read it back and generated the IO error, if you saw
just the one pass.
