Sysgo_dd is 483 bytes as built here, how big is yours?

And size shouldn't be an issue since its a transient program that is 
executed once at bootup, and for size reasons, probably needn't be taking 
up room in the OS9Boot file, or in precious system ram.  It should load, 
execute, and go away.

I would much rather believe that its failure is a bad descriptor for /h0 or 
/dd as the case might be. That would prevent its being found.

Do you actually have your hard drive formatted and loaded with nitros9 
already?

Economists can certainly disappoint you.  One said that the economy would
turn up by the last quarter.  Well, I'm down to mine and it hasn't.
