[Coco] Kipper SBC v1.1

[Zippster]

Once you have a serial connection and some storage, all you’d need is a simple
OS of some kind that supports serial transfer and basic storage in ROM and you’d
be ready to start development (on an external PC).

I definitely wouldn’t ditch the serial port on the base board, pretty essential on this
type of SBC (or at least really helpful).  Though with a programmer and cross assembler
on a pc, and a ROM socket on the SBC you could get by.

I haven’t been following this, but what how is the memory set up/divided between ROM & RAM?
What kind of startup code is available for the ROM on this board so far?
