[Coco] Nitros9 on Keil

[Bob Devries]

Mark,

is it possible that the NitrOS9 disks fail to load because they are not the 
correct length? I notice that the file you're trying to use is just 317,952 
bytes long, which is short for a 40 track double-sided disk; should be 
368,640. I wonder if the Keil emulator is barfing on that?

Regards, Bob Devries
