[Coco] cartridge edtasm image for vcc

I've been working on a program downloads data from a datalogger via the bitbanger
and then processes it. It's not a huge amount of data but enough that I will
need to page switch the memory and currently my best attempts have been very good
at hanging the emulator! :-)

That results in me having to reload the goofy edtasm dos and restarting edtasm and
finally reloading my source file. I remember back in the day when using the cartridge
version of edtasm that it's an autostart cart and all I would need to do is reset the
emulator and then reload the "tape" version. In either case the disk or tape image is
really just a disk file and while still slower then "disk" the small files I'll be
loading should still load faster then restarting disk edtasm. Does this make sense to
anyone but myself?

For the record I could simply read the data one record (reading) at a time and then
process it without page switching or do it all on my linux machine via perl/shell
script or C and have it run a lot faster. Like most things I do with my coco I'm
doing this for the fun of doing. :-)
