Well, certainly that's possible I suppose, using .byte directives, but
the problem with that is that for the 2600 you need to create 4096-byte
files and that method would create extraneous bytes.
Perhaps a Stella-specific DASM should be compiled. And it should also
be of DASM 2.12, since I know it exists, if only for the Amiga...
