[Coco] HDB-DOS build fixes. Untested as of yet.

[Juan Castro]

Fixes are in http://users.vialink.com.br/jcastro/hdbdos14/

The 38400 code wasn't being compiled in for the CoCo 1. There was code
repetition. Now the server does recognize the commands from the CoCo, but
all reads get a CRC error according to the server log. I see lots of
retries coming from the CoCo.

One more thing about the conditional assembly: the code repetition in
dwwrite was like this:

If blah
Do something
Else If symbol H6309-1 is nonzero
Do ABC
Else If symbol BAUD38400 is nonzero
Do THECOCO1THINGIWANT
Else If symbol H6309-1 is nonzero
Do ABC
Else ...

I cut out the first IF for the H6309-1 block, which is identical to the
third. But looking at it, it shouldn't make a difference if H6309-1 is not
defined. But it does. Different code is generated. I think there's still
something screwy with conditional compilation. Maybe the assembler
interprets H6309-1 as a calculation yielding a nonzero value. Maybe I
should find-and-replace this symbol and use an underline character instead.
Gotta test more.
