[Coco] Basic09 versions

[Wayne Campbell]

That is definitely the Level 1 version. It would be good to have a copy in
whatever repository is current. Can you tell me if you remember the
original floppy being a flippy? I have heard before that it had some files
on the opposite side, but I never thought about that when I had my Level 1
system.
