You do know that NitrOS-9 (OS-9) is a completely separate environment
from the Basic interpreter in ROM (RSDOS), right?

Under NitrOS-9, the ROM is out of the picture and you are in a
multi-tasking, unix-like operating system with a command shell.  The
file system used under NitrOS-9 is not compatible with RSDOS.  When
you want to use the Basic interpreter or run programs on an RSDOS
disk, you don't boot into NitrOS-9.
