You can use any DECB disk, and for NitrOS-9 use one of the "becker"
disks from the NitrOS9 CVS or prebuilt every night at:
http://www.nitros9.org/latest/


On a side note, how big was the file you could not load with DriveWire
4?  The only size limit *should* be available ram, but for very large
images you may need to give the virtual machine more room with a
command line argument to java:

java -Xmx512m

for example to grant 512MB ram to the process.
