[Coco] NitrOS9 build errors

[Bob Devries]

Tormod,

regarding the DW image files in the build, five files are tagged in the HTML 
file as being 1440 sectors, 360k and yet are tagged as 96TPI, Double 
Density, Double Sided.

They are:

kyumgai_dw.dsk
mm_dw.dsk
multivue_6309_dw.dsk
multivue_6809_dw.dsk
subsim_dw.dsk

This is after making the modification to rules.mak regarding OS9FORMAT_DS80.

I'm not sure why thses DW disks are formatted wrong.

Regards, Bob Devries
