My OS9 assembler noobness shows so bear with me.

I have tried assembling VTIO.ASM on both my CoCo 1 and 3 to no avail, both
running NitrOS9 3.3 at their respective levels of course.

My directive has been:

asm /d1/vtio.asm o=/d1/vtio l > /d1/vtio.lst

Have the OS disk in /d0 and the VTIO work disk on /d1 - using the CoCo SDC

The LST file shows a lot of ERROR: BAD LABEL and ERROR: BAD INSTR entries
from the very beginning of the assembly process. The resulting VTIO
executable reports a Header Incorrect upon running IDENT on it.

I'm inclined to think I am doing something wrong here...
