[Coco] OS-9 Level1 Version 02.00.00 FYI

[Robert Gault]

There is a .zip in the archive
https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Disks/Operating%20Systems/OS-9%20Level%201%20v02.01.00%20(Tandy).zip
which freezes with VCC on a key stroke when asked for the date. The same OS9-L1V201-SYS.dsk works 
with MAME/MESS in Coco3 mode.

This particular OS-9 version on boot says
Phonenix release 11/04/2002
HTTP://COCOOS9.SOURCEFORGE.NET
when booting.

So, there may still be a problem with VCC emulation.
