First part is usually the tables for a GM BIN. You can work
out where the code is by looking at the interrupt vectors
at the end of the BIN for for most (all?) Mot. chip.

My disassembler is available from http://www.techedge.com.au/utils/default.htm

If you don't know assembler, there's a steep learning curve unless
you're a programmer (and then some..). There is some info on the 68HC11
from Motorola - look for a User Manual PDF file - It'll have all the
HC11's instructions, and how the chip works. There may also be some books
on the HC11 too.
