+xroar-roms (Dragon and CoCo ROM images for use with xroar)
+
+Firmware for Dragon and TRS-80 Color Computer. These were originally
+copied from the ROMs in the original machines, and are still under
+copyright by the manufacturers, although they've been widely available
+on the 'net for years.
+
+The Dragon and CoCo machines (and xroar) have a bewildering array of ROM
+images to choose from. What's included here is a "base" set of ROMs.
+
+With this package installed, xroar will be able to run with the
+following -machine types:
+
+- dragon32 Dragon 32
+- dragon64 Dragon 64
+- tano[*] Tano Dragon (NTSC)
+- dragon200e[*] Dragon 200-E
+- coco Tandy CoCo (PAL)
+- cocous Tandy CoCo (NTSC)
+- coco2b Tandy CoCo 2B (PAL,T1)
+- coco2bus Tandy CoCo 2B (NTSC,T1)
+
+[*] Requires extra xroar arguments; see
+/usr/doc/xroar-roms-20180901/Readme.txt for details.
+
+The mx1600 (Dynacom MX-1600) is unsupported, as a ROM image couldn't
+be found.
+
+There are many ROM, disk, and tape images for the CoCo and Dragon
+computers here: http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/
