Tony,

 If you select Cartridge/HD0, does it show "Nitros09.vhd" next to the 
eject?  If not, you need to find the Nitros09.vhd image and "insert" 
it.  I don't believe it came with the VCC program, seems I found a link 
to it in some one elses messages here on the board.  If you don't have 
it, reply and I will see if I can find it.  By the way, the vhd image I 
have does not have a os9 boot image on any of the rsdos drives that I 
can find.
