[Coco] Nitros9 on a CC3 512k

[George Ramsower]

 Here's what I've done so far...

 I tried variations of Nitros9.... 40 and 80 track and single and double 
sided. None do any differently. Always a pretty root directory but none of 
the directories and the startup file are readable. .... error 247.
 Booting from the variations always lead to a hang up after the boot is 
completed..

 Huh?

 Beginning at $40, I see "OS9BOOT"

 I think this might be the wrong place to look with DED. Or I'm looking at
the wrong thing.
