I noticed the Vectrex 6809 game units are emulated in M.E.S.S.  If I knew 
that these ROMs are simply dure data of 4k, 8k, 16k, etc. then CCASM 
generates those even without my IDE.  With the IDE, the ROMs can be 
automatically mounted into the emulated Vectrex, hopefully, and somebody 
can have some real fun if they know how those machines work.  Burning the 
ROM image to an EPROM or other memory chip that's compatible with the 
Vextrex cartridge slot would allow you to develop Vectrex game packs, I 
suppose.  I won't know until it is tried.

Are we seeing any possibilities here?  :)
