Well, it should be NitrOS9 6809 Level II, Disk 1 and 2, 40 track double sided.
Also, the drive and controller I'm loading it from is Tandy's FD-502. Charlie
said that he tested it before shipping it out, and it worked.

If you remember, or if you can look in the archive, I was having a problem with
booting it in to NitrOS9. It always failed. (You might as well look at that
thread.) Let me see if I can find my original posting...
