[Coco] Trying to boot nitros-9 in mess (linux)

[Matías Gutiérrez]

Thanks a lot Tormod! That look pretty promising.
I've just downloaded toolshed and build it. Now I have this fistful of
files:

dw3dos.asm      dw3doscc1.wav   dw3doscc2.wav   dw3doscc3.wav
dw3dos_dsk_cc3.rom  dw3dos_mb_cc3.rom  dw4doscc2.wav   dw4doscc3.wav
dw4dos_mb_cc2.rom
dw3doscc1.bin   dw3doscc2.bin   dw3doscc3.bin   dw3dos_dsk_cc1.rom
dw3dos_mb_cc1.rom   dw4doscc2.bin      dw4doscc3.bin   dw4dos_dsk_cc2.rom
dw4dos_mb_cc3.rom
dw3dos_cc1.trk  dw3dos_cc2.trk  dw3dos_cc3.trk  dw3dos_dsk_cc2.rom
dw3dos_mb_cc2.rom   dw4dos_cc2.trk     dw4dos_cc3.trk  dw4dos_dsk_cc3.rom
Makefile

I presume .wav are the audio files, just for curiosity's sake what are
those .rom and .trk?
Now I going to research how to boot nitros-9 from dw once dwdos is loaded
in ram.

Thanks
