I have a Nitros9 6809 L2 version 3.02.06 disk that I download from  
sourceforge and made some time ago.  I started with the standard.bl  
module list that came on the disk, uncommented sc6551 and t2_sc6551  
and tried feeding this to os9gen.  No other changes were made.   Upon  
further inspection there are probably some modules I can remove for  
this experiment so I can go try that and see if it gets any farther.
