[Coco] Modifying Level1/coco1 for 6309 native mode

[Bill Nobel]

Thanks for the comment Robert, much appreciated.

I still have the code Curt and I did,  I will dig up RBF.asm and see if you are correct on that offset and what U is pointing to at the time.  U should be pointing to the register stack if I remember correctly. I have it on my server just a matter of where, 6TB to dig through.  I am pretty sure though that U is pointing to Register stack.

>>> You are on the right path Robert,  When Curt and I started the project I had to reverse engineer everything.  The defs files I modified for the 6309 register layout and other things we added.  I encased them into ifdef, else etc for the reassembly.  I basically added the Def reference to the code and reassembled it to make sure the module CRC was the same as the original. Once that was done I concentrated on the conversion to 6309.
