Wayne,

Data modules are not in the index of OS-9 Level Two but if you look in the Technical Reference 
section on pg 3-4 you will see a list of the type/language byte.
  Code          Type          Name
   $4x         Data Module     Data

The 6th byte of a memory module is TYPE/LANGUAGE and the language is
  $x0      for a data module.
So combining both of these the 6th byte should be $40.

Page 3-6 give the structure of an "executable" module but apparently if you have byte-6 = $40 you 
can use the same structure for a data module.

I can't find any examples of data modules.
