[Coco] cc6809 project

[John Donaldson]

  My very first embedded project was in assembly. It was a old 8085 
system and I did
all the coding in assembly. Did not have a Editor/Assembler, so I hand 
assembled the code.
ended up getting a joint Nasa/Industry Patient too. Still have the 
manual I wrote for it too.
Second project was done on a 6800.
