[Coco] NitrOS-9 L3 Code and Disk Images

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, If I remember correctly, when Alan was developing Level 3, NitrOS9 was ONLY for 6309 and still in commercial form with "Northern Exposure". Level 3 was never ported to 6809 unless Boisy attempted it at some point in the repo afterwards.

Found it, it is now in the F$srqmem modules, aka in 
level2/modules/kernel/fsrqmen.asm, but I'm puzzled because the conditional 
only allows it to work on a 6309 cpu.  Time to go look at nitro.asm and 
see why it will not work on a 6809. Did, its got 6309 only code in it.  
Some of which may be hard and slower to work around for a 6809.  It really 
was a good plan I thought.

In this present state, 6809 coco3's will crash 100% of the time.  
Guaranteed.


Cheers, Gene Heskett
