[Coco] NitrOS-9 EOU (Ease of Use) Beta 5 released

[Bill Nobel]

Charlie, EOU_USER is a blank HD image.  OVCC/VCC only allows one HD.  We are working on Drivewire for Beta 6 the Matchbox version already has CocoNet which is a similar system. Ram drive issue is noted now. Myself I don’t use them much but I’ll check into it.
