[Coco] Becker interface for Coco 2 emulators

[Bill Pierce]

Ron, the rom doesn't include "Becker" in it's logo.

Hi David,Even though I believe I'm grabbing the correct ROM, I do not see the word "BECKER" in the HDBDOS string.  I keep seeing DW3 COCO2.  That has to be part of the problem -- incorrect ROM.Would you be able to send me the ROM you have?Thanks again for your help!-RonOn 04/15/2017 03:04 PM, David Ladd wrote:> On Sat, Apr 15, 2017 at 2:25 PM, Ron <ron at kdomain.org> wrote:>>> Hi David,>>>> Thanks for explain the 2 versions -- now I understand the slight>> difference.>>>> No luck getting the HDBDOSDW3CC2.ROM working with MAME yet.
