I have, in my copy, removed the duplicate dmode, but I know very little 
about the dragon's serial com port hardware.  If the only ACIA it could 
have had is from a modem pack or deluxe rs232 pack, then we probably should 
switch that to the sc6551 support, same as the coco's IOW.

So I left the ACIA51 in that list, then did  a "make dskclean;make 
clean;make dsk" in the level1/d64 directory, and followed the trace.

There was no place in the trace where ACIA51 could be found, and it did 
build and use the two sc6651.dt's, but failed on ACIA51.

Looking in the coco1 tree I find that was built in the modules makefile, so 
I put it in the d64/modules/makefile, but there are now missing defines:
lwasm --6309 --format=os9 --
pragma=pcaspcr,nosymbolcase,condundefzero,undefextern,dollarnotlocal --
includedir=. --includedir=/opt/nitros9/defs -DNOS9VER=3 -DNOS9MAJ=2 -
DNOS9MIN=9 -DNOS9DBG=1 -Dd64=1 -I/opt/nitros9/level1/modules 
/opt/nitros9/level1/modules/sc6551.asm -osc6551.dr
WARNING: IFP1 if is not supported; ignoring
/opt/nitros9/level1/modules/sc6551.asm:00025            ifp1

set MPI slot select register

make[1]: *** [sc6551.dr] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/nitros9/level1/d64/modules'

I suspect that will need to be added to d64/defs/dragon.d, but doing that 
did no good, it is not using dragon's defs at all.

And later in the build:

make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/nitros9/level1/d64/bootfiles'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../modules/vtio.dr', needed by 
`bootfile_cohr_ds40'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/nitros9/level1/d64/bootfiles'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Which did end the make dsk.  So there are other errors to chase down and be 
tested by someone with a dragon 64.

Somebody with a dragon 64 please pipe up here.
