[Coco] RS-232 image for VCC

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

Kip what is you problem with the boot disks ?

I make my very superIDE boot disks from scratch using the NitrOS-9
source code. I just need to change few makefiles to set the proper hdd
dimensions,etc. Then you can transfer the boot disk to the coco either
using a CF card adpater (and a few tools mine) or using my WIRED or
making a floppy and using real floppies..

I have made even a multi-boot OS9L1V2.00, NitrOS-9L1 Coco2, NitrOS-9L1
Coco2B, NitrOS-9L2 Coco3 and NitrOS-9L2 Coco3 6309. I just choose the
boot in the autoexec.bas.

the Image i provided this week for the glenside IDE has the same os9's.
