[Coco] The 6309 Micro Processor Project

[John Collyer]

I did some research, and even received an ok from
Microsoft.  It's ok to let people download my
makeboot system for the coco tools I put together.

I put makeboot.exe back on my website.  This is
for anyone, who rather not get into all the details
of making a MS-DOS 6.2 boot disk, but would
rather just get one already made to run the coco
tools from.
