Is that folder any use at all? Cannot MODULES etc be straight under
NITROS9? Are there any use cases where you'd have multiple
6309/6809/L1/L2 folders under NITROS9 ?

I understand it can serve as a hint to identify the disk in question,
but "id" does a better job. And you can't tell from 6809L1 whether the
modules were built for coco1/coco2/dragon, dw3/dw-turbo, etc.

If any tools depend on this, we better keep it as it is, though.
