[Coco] Doubt about how 68xx interrupt vectors work

Ahhh, thanks. I wonder, if an expansion ROM is present, will the new
contents appear at these last addresses, or the previous ones? I would
imagine you could put new addresses and they would be active.

And I was wrong about the MC-10. The main ROM address is E000-FFFF. I was
peeking idly on an MC-10 and saw those addresses are mirrored at C000-DFFF,
down to the last byte.

(Oh, by the way, I will resume work on CaChars -- thinner font, 64x24 text
-- any day now. I promise. :-P)
