[Coco] problem transferring DSK files to disk

[Robert Gault]

The problem may be the commands sent to dskini.exe or the version in 
use. Post the exact command string used to attempt the format of the 
NitrOS-9 disks. What errors do you get when you try to use the disks on 
a Coco? Can these disks be read on a Coco after booting from a good OS-9 
boot disk?
