[Coco] Orchestra90-CC ROM fully converted for the Dragon-Tano 64k

[Paulo Garcia]

Hi Pere

when you say "IT ONLY WORKS IN A DRAGON64 or any machine with 64k as it
switches to all RAM mode (MAP1)", *any* machine includes the CoCo3 for
example, as long as it meets the RAM requirements?

Thanks

Paulo
