[Coco] Nitros9 and Smartwatch

[piperfox74]

Thanks, Robert. I’ll take a go at trying the Smartwatch in the Disto slot 1 this afternoon and report on the results. It could be the Smartwatch modules I purchased are just dead. No huge loss, as they weren’t expensive, but I was hoping for a NitrOS-9 system I could run without reliance on DriveWire. (When DriveWire works, it’s amazing, but I’ve found it to be just flaky enough when running on macOS (née Mac OS X) that I’d prefer to avoid it if possible.)
