[Coco] NitrOS9 build errors

[Bob Devries]

Perhaps my statement about the images being formatted "wrong" is beyond what 
I meant. Perhaps "inconsistent" is a better choice.

Allow me to point out a discrepancy:

kyumgai.dsk is 360k, 1440 sectors and is tagged in the HTML file as 48TPI, 
Double Density, Double Sided.

kyumgai_becker.dsk is 360k, 1440 sectors and is tagged in the HTML file as 
Drivewire 3/4

kyumgai_dw.dsk is 360k, 1440 sectors and is tagged in the HTML file as 96 
TPI, Double Density, Single Sided.

Perhaps a standard format needs to be chosen for DW disks so that they are 
consistent?
