Got one for you Chris Hawks: (the keeper of the boot msg decoder file)

ix2ttot*j

This is from a floppy boot disk of L2 with dw that I just made.  
Theoretically identical to the hard drive boot I'm running but with 
boot_1773 in the boottrack, and the repo adjusted so that any file with 
6309 code in it, is now identified as a tylg and atrv reflecting that it is 
native 6309 code.  We aren't too sure about the clock module as we've been 
trying to sort some 6309 code in it that wasn't switched out for 6809's 
too.

Ideas?  looks like it may even be in a loop of some sort but that is a only 
a WAG.

Thanks Chris.

Cheers, Gene
