[Coco] The ultimate VCC hard disk image using EmuDsk

[Ron Klein]

Hi Robert,

I'm actually trying to read the DECB part of the hard drive image.  I can
do it with the CoCoSDC using a version of HDB-DOS with modified offsets.
I'm unable to get it to work in an emulator (MAME).  I have not tried it
with VCC as I mainly use Linux.

Thanks

-Ron
