Should just be
dir /i1

If the disk in question is an OS-9 disk, you can use the command 
'backup' under OS-9/NitrOS-9. That won't work with a Disk Basic disk as 
OS-9 won't recognize the disk. You will need to run Backup under Disk Basic.
Further, the receiving disk should have the same format as the original. 
So since your disk is labeled 35TSS, it must be formatted as a 35 track 
single sided disk, the Disk Basic default. Under OS-9, you need to 
either adjust the descriptor for the receiving disk or tell Format to 
make a 35T single sided disk.

You need to copy all the modules that are part of Basic09 to the 
NitrOS-9 CMDS directory on the CF; Basic09, RunB, gfx, gfx2, inkey, and 
syscall.
You may not have all those files. They should be present in the next 
release of NitrOS-9.
