Hi Bill,
Here's some dropbox links for you.  The EDTASM.zip file has both Tandy's EDTASM and Robert Gault's upgrade EDTASM++.  EDTASM.dsk is the TANDY EDTASM I believe and EDTASM++.dsk and EDTASM++.txt is Robert Gault's Upgrade of EDTASM++.  The upgrade was adapting EDTASM to the 6309 microprocessor.  I'm giving you both just in case you might someday need it.

This link is the Disk EDTASM (Tandy) manual in pdf format.

This link is the EDTASM+ With ZBUG (Tandy) manual in pdf format.

I hope you do have fun with this.  If you have never done any assembler programming, you are in for a treat albeit a bit of a learning curve.  Please do not shy away from this because of my comments nor be impatient.  You asked what you can do with your Color Computer 3 now that you have two full systems up and running.  Well with 6809/6309 Assembler language programming skills, you can do anything quite literally - anything the hardware will support and your imagination can create.  Ask the Lord God Almighty to help you.  He will!    
I enjoy programming, but sometimes wrapping my mind around some concepts can be a bit difficult especially if you are teaching yourself with no teacher or skilled programmer friend type to lean on and ask questions.  Of course you have me and I'll do my best to answer any questions you have to the best of my knowledge.  It can get quite interesting.  You and I both have the Black 6809 Programming book so we will learn or relearn as the case may be together.  :)  
At one point in my twenties, I was very good at 6800 assembly language programming.  I understood it quite well.  I don't remember what the computer was that we used, but I imagine it was probably FLEX 2.  I just was not too aware of FLEX back then nor the great numbers of people using it.  The 6800 is a very simple microprocessor to learn and learn on.  Unfortunately I have nothing here that runs the 6800.  At least not yet.  I'm laying out plans for something in the future though.  I playing with the idea of getting some hardware version of the 6800 operational.  Hopefully I'll be able to use one of my Multicomps.  Grant Searle has gotten a 6800 system running on his Multicomp design, he has not published it to his web site yet.  I would really like to revisit the 6800 someday.  That was one of the first Assemblers I ever learned, I think.  :)  That and 8080 code, but that is another story.  
Well, I'll let you go.  It's 3:58pm Sunday, but I can't send this email to you until I get home since I'm piggy-backing off Walmart's WiFi and they block a BUNCH of TCP/IP port numbers one of which is the email port number.  I can't send or receive email right now.  When I link up at home later on, all this email will be sent to you of course so you won't see this until tonight.  I wish you could see this now as that is when I saw your email.  Well, I hope to Skype with you later on tonight.  Take care my friend.
