[Coco] Fuzix: Now on CoCo2

[Michael R. Furman]

FWIW, I was able to mash together your CocoSDC driver and platform-coco2cart and got a kernel built out of it.  I put the CocoSDC at major #9 just after dw.  I will probably not have time to proceed on to the next step of trying it out for a few days....
