[Coco] Still having newbie issues

[Nick Marentes]

I bought Robert Gault's excellent 6309 assembler which is based on the 
Tandy Disk assembler, has been improved for the CoCo3 and works 
perfectly with Drivewire.

Assuming you're wanting to do some assembly development the "old school" 
way.   :)

I like to "keep-it-real"!    :)
