Coco 3 emulator and Linux

I'm trying to setup Jeff Vavasour's CoCo 3 emulator using Ubuntu and
DosBox and I have tried with both the ROMs and the OS-9 patch but I
still get the following error:

No Colour Computer 3 ROM files found in the default path.

Any ideas?

Keith

Are you using the correct ROM images? The JVC emulator does not use the same ROM 
images used by MESS and VCC.

Your ROMs must have a two byte header (Intel order) indicating the memory 
location of the ROM.
coco3.rom header = $0080
disk11.rom = $00C0

You may also want the zero byte file 2MEGS present in the emulator directory to 
get more than 512K of RAM.

I don't know if it'll help you, but I have it set up for MESS using Jeff's drivers.

I'm not sure where to get the correct ROMs, or how to verify that they 
are the correct ones so I thought I'd try VCC with Wine. Doesn't seem to

I use VCC under wine and it works well out of the box.
Currently using wine 1.5.3 and VCC 1.42 on Fedora 17
