[Coco] OS–9 Module Editor

[Bruce W. Calkins]

Under OS-9 and I would think NitrOS9 as well, the "higher" dmode settings 
will read "smaller" disks as the size is also encoded in the disk's format 
data.  You can read single sided disks on a double sided drive with a double 
sided descripter and you can read 40/35 track disks on an 80 track drive 
with a 80 track discripter.  You can also format "smaller" disks by setting 
the specifications in the format command.
