Probably just a subroutine in sysgo.  VEF files, even compressed,
aren't that complex.

Japanese 6809 box.  Is this the one that had the second 6809 that
handled the sound or graphics?

No, cc3go or sysgo is sorta like init under UN*X.  It's the original
process that sets up and runs everything that's not actually part of
the kernel.  UN*X init hangs around and does other stuff.  Sysgo does
its thing and exits.
