Yeah, you'll need a copy of the superdos ported to the CoCo controler,
if you search around for the mess romset for the Tano, it's in there :)
Failing that drop me a private email and I'll send you a copy.

The standard Dragon distribution won't work, as this is designed to work 
with the DragonDos controler, however, support is in the Nitros source 
for this configuration (Dragon + RS-DOS), so if you get the source and 
build from that then you can build a Tano boot disk.

Cheers.
