[Coco] Cartridges that use SCS decoding

[James Ross]

Ahhh, the hardware lingo of this thread! 

It sounds cool, I wish I understood it to the degree you guys do! Perhaps someday, I'll have the time to learn it.

Good point Jim.  I do something similar with the PSG.

There is a bit in the control register (SCS space), that software must explicitly
set to enable writes to CTS space and enable SLENB.

Since CTS will not be driven, you'll need to construct a pseudo-CTS signal, and you'll need to guard against doing so simplistically, since a wrote the $c000 could be for the external EEPROM/RAM/FLASH, or it could be for the internal RAM.  I use a flag in SCS space to denote writes are allowed in FLASH space.
