Bill,
All the source code I've seen for Level3 assumes a 6309. The 6309 requires a
trap for illegal coding and uses the address at $FFF0 to jump to the code. Tandy
never used that (6809 only) so the ROM at $FFF0 reads $0000.
Given the above, a 6309 requires some code at $0000 to at least jump to the
actual trap routine.
You could try leaving out any trap code but that would be risky. Sooner or later
something will go wrong and vector to $0000 assuming there is valid code at that
location.
