[Coco] Cubix and Coco3 - code snippet

About a year ago I looked indepth at the Cubix software and did not really find 
any assembly issues other than the "ssr" assembler directive wihich is a direct 
jump into the OS kernal. That would be the most tidious to alter with a macro.

The real issue is not getting the code into a form that any Coco assembler or 
crossassembler can handle. The eral issues are writing peripheral drivers and 
such around the main OS core that would work with the COCO1/2/3.
