[Coco] First experiences with my DE1

[Bob Devries]

Nick,

I'll admit I know nothing about the DE-1, but in a *real* coco, the ECB rom 
is at 08000 and the DECB is at 0C000. Are the memory locations in the flash 
related to the locations in the real coco? ECB looks at the two bytes at 
0C000 to see if DECB exists.
