[Coco] Nitros9 & Mess

[Bill Nobel]

  Hey all,

  I am trying to setup a Nitros9 system using Mess, but I am getting very 
frustrated with the Virtual Disks.  I have a working boot on a 40trk SS 
disk.  The drive descriptors in the boot are for 40trk DS disks and a 
virtual HD using Alan's EmuDsk.

  I cannot seem to be able to format and disk with more than 1 side all I 
get is error 242's for everything I do with the disks (format, copy, dir 
etc...) am I missing something??  I followed Alan's instructions for 
creating the virtual HD, but cannot format it.  I did jerry rig it to work 
by modifying LSN0's density byte to $02 instead of $03.  This allowed me to 
format the drive but copying files to it trashes the directory when it needs 
to allocate more sectors for the directory past it's default.

Any help is appreciated.

-Bill
