[Coco] NitrOS9 Disks

[Bob Devries]

Robert (and others) Mannequin's drive turns out to be a single-sided drive
in a fd502 case. That is what caused his problems. He will be installing a
DS drive RSN.

You should be seeing Term after the VDGInt report. You should not be
seeing two KrnP2 or two rb1773 and there are many modules missing that
should proceed VDGInt. Boot exits with the error code *j which should
mean error-234 Non-existent module.

There is either something wrong with the os9boot file or your drive.
Since the disk was supposed to work for Charlie, it seems your drive
can't read Charlie's disk. That means either misalignment or speed
errors for you or Charlie.

The OS-9 drive routines are much more sensitive to drive problems than
those of Disk Basic. That makes it very important that your drive be in
good condition. At the very least, you should check the drive rpm. Then
see if you can read a commercial Disk Basic disk or a Basic disk from
Charlie.
