[Coco] reading second side of real floppy disk on VCC

[robert.gault at att.net]

To use a real disk with VCC you must indicate that using the VCC menu. The disks most likely will not be Coco floppies but the different disks used with PCs. You will also need a special .dll installed on the PC as explained in the VCC documentation. There will still be problems with the second side of the disk without a modified rom image.Sent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: RETRO Innovations via Coco Date: Sun, May 5, 2024 4:47 PMTo: coco at maltedmedia.com;Cc: RETRO Innovations;Subject:Re: [Coco] reading second side of real floppy disk on VCCOn 5/5/2024 3:35 PM, Bruce W.

These are not virtual disks.  He is using the ability for VCC to mount 
the dreal drive A (floppy disk)
