[Coco] NitrOS-9 beginner

80 would be nice.  And at least with a 35 track boot disk, I could 
create as many floppies as I needed during my training in.  I'm not sure 
how many of my old floppies are still viable, though I've found they 
hold data a lot longer than you'd think in some cases...

Thanks,
