[Coco] double sided disks

[Robert Gault]

You need to know what Cloud-9 expects in terms of drive numbers. The 
typical numbering for double sided drives follows:

Physical drive #      Logical Coco drive #
1                     0 & 2
2                     1 & 3

Try DSKINI2 and DIR2 on your system.
