VCC definitely has a few bugs, but some are a little more "evasive"

than others.

0. Composite & RGB colors are *not* exactly correct. This is being

0. The CPU is not exactly "cycle accurate". It's just a hair slightly
3012-
faster than a real CoCo 3 and there are a couple of things that this
3013-
causes problems in. For example "Popstar Pilot" has a screen flicker
3014-
and a couple of SockMaster's demos will not work correctly. These
3015-
programs count cycles in the render process and VCC is slightly off

in timing. As soon as we find the timing issue, this will be fixed.

0. When using VCC & DriveWire4, sometimes when doing a cold start (F9
3019-
twice), VCC & DW4 will lose sync, and VCC will have to be restarted.

This is mostly DW4 related and we don't think VCC is the culprit.

0. There's a problem in the disk drive emulation in which IRQs are not
