I can't.  What I have is a revision that will be 2.0.  I apologize if 
it isn't in the manual but I sure thought there were three images that 
came on the DriveWire CD.

Ahh, that's it.  nlevel2.dsk is NitrOS-9 (6309) and level2.dsk is OS-9 
level Two.  This was pre-NitrOS-9 v3, before the names were 
consolidated.

Right.  I remember now.

I don't recall.

Because the product is a year old and I haven't seen it in as long.  
What I have is in various states of testing, and will be DriveWire 2.0.
