[Coco] Making OS-9/NitrOS9 more user friendly Facebook group discussion

[Wayne Campbell]

I used it. It was the way I made boot disks all the time I had my coco3. I
would like to see it revamped for the modern Nitros9 systems. Discussions
in Discord have shown me that the original config utility would not work in
its current form. It would need to be Rewritten. That said, there are other
boot file creation utilities being written that make the need for config
somewhat ambiguous.
