[Coco] Which is better?

[rietveld rietveld]

Hi

I am sending you Vcc and games


I have already pre configured VCC so its ready to use right out of the box.

I have it setup as a Coco3 with MPI.  Disk drive inslot 4, Harddrive in slot3, and Orch 90cc in slot 2.


Just unzip VCC onto your desktop.    Open the folder 'VCC" and click on VCC.EXE   .     The folder also contains a collection of .dsk's to run.


Click on the "cartridge"tab and scroll down to FD-502 DRIVE 0 to insert different disks


I have included the PDF of the user guide for VCC.   Very simple to use.

Where and what version of VCC will I need to get to try?

 Well, the VCC emulator is free and emulates a Coco3. You don't need Drivewire as you can mount a
hard drive image (.vhd) on the VCC but for further flexibility can also use VCC with Drivewire. A
.vhd will give you at least 256 "floppy" disks plus a large OS-9 partition. You can even expand a
.vhd for additional floppy partitions of 256 disks each.

There are many many free .dsk and .vhd images at
http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/
so you have all kinds of programs readily available.

Try that for a while on your PC, and then decide whether you need to obtain a Coco3, added memory,
and a multi-pak in which to mount some of the newest third party Coco enhancements. You don't need
to rush into anything.
