Ok.  I wasn't worried about HDBDOS, since I figured it was being 
overwritten.  I just didn't know if NitrOS9 was supposed to run from ROM 
or if it was ok to take up valuable RAM.  I noticed that ROM paks are 
available with NitrOS9 on them from Cloud9, and was trying to decide if 
using one of those would give me more free memory to run NitrOS9 
programs or not over the way I am doing it presently.

Thanks! :)
