I dont suppose you remember anything such as:

1) Setting the video mode on the Coco3 in assembly to the equivalent of 
HSCREEN 2

2) setting a single pixel on said screen aka HSET(x,y,c)

3) reading from a joystick using asm

If anyone can help me out with these snippets, it would be wonderful :)

I've asked previously and been referred to a coco3 memory map, but that 
just confused me more!
