[Coco] Becker interface for Coco 2 emulators

[Bill Pierce]

Ron, you must use the hdbdw3bck (coco2) or hdbdw3bc3 (coco3) with emulators for dw4. If you use the ones with just hdbdw3cc2 and hdbdw3cc3, they are ment for real Cocos and are trying to access the serial port, which is nonexistant on emulator (hence the error). You must use the bck/bc3 versions for becker port.
