Let me add what I forgot to mention:

The connection between the PC and CoCo are using both my CoCo-to-PC 
serial cable and my wireless RS-232 pak (with HDB-DOS/DriveWire in 
it).  No real floppy controller is connected.  The reason the cable 
is used is so I can boot into NitrOS-9 some way since my controller 
is causing me some OS-9 boot problems.

Even though I opened a shell into NOS from the PC over the air, the 
CoCo is still accessing it's system disk FROM the PC over the 
bitbanger cable.  Talk about a cool little situation.  Anyway, I 
don't want to use the bitbanger connection or DriveWire so I'll be 
working on a solution to why I can't boot NitrOS-9 using my Super 
Controller 1.  Once I get that working, the cable can go.
