[Coco] OS-9 loading NEW WAY

[Stephen H. Fischer]

It was done by Jeff Vavasour as part of the first Coco 3 Emulator.

Decades ago!
>From Jeff's webpage about ROMs 

"or the CoCo 3 Emulator running OS-9 Level II do not need the original ROMs in order to function. I have written a small stub boot ROM which will load these particular operating systems, which otherwise only rely on the computer's ROM to boot."
