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

[Bill Pierce]

 Since VCC is a Coco3 emulation, ROM should be in RAM, so you should be able to poke the values into the the RAM locations for the patch, which would have to be done after any reset/reboot.

It's a Coco formatted disk, as the DIR 0 shows a good dir.

As I noted on the original email:

"fdrawcmd.sys loaded on XP"

OK, that is good information.  I'm back from the show, but hopefully I 
can share this information.  If someone has a suitably modded ROM image, 
I can see about sharing with him.

He has done this successfully on another machine, so he knows it is 
possible.  I can also see if he can copy the .rom from that other machine.
