[Coco] Basic09 Coco3 and Error #207

[Bill Pierce]

Wayne,
The current build of Nitros9 L1 will not boot in VCC, but will boot on a real Coco 3 and in Mess Coco 3 emu.
It just will not utilize the extra memory and see only 64k.

As a note.. OS-9 Level 1 version 2.00.00 was released as a fix to Level 1 so that it WOULD boot on a Coco 3 Since version 1.00.00 or 1.00.01 would not boot due to the kernel accessing the "forbidden" addresses.
Version 2.00.00 was basically a fix (with some bonus features) unti Level 2 was finished.

I have never tried to boot OS-9 Level 1 or NitrOS-9 Level 1 on a CoCo3. I
didn't know Level 1 would even boot on a CoCo3!
