[Coco] Drivewire/Superdriver feature request, and questions

[Mark Marlette]

David,
No need to remove battery, just leave it...good for 10 yrs in or out....
Gen3 platform the RTC has no address space required on the CoCo side. You just send a request to the Xmega via a DriveWire time call. Presto.....
