[Coco] SmartWatch

[Arthur Flexser]

Ron, it is possible that some versions of Extended ADOS-3 that can be
found online might contain the SmartWatch driver.  (It was an option;
some Ext. ADOS-3 disks contained it if it was ordered at the same time
as Ext. ADOS 3.)  So you might want to look at the individual files in
versions of Ext. ADOS-3 found online and see if the driver is there.
