[Coco] OS9 Lvl 1 rev 2.00.00 - double sided floppy configuration

[Bob Devries]

Hi All,

I've just sent to chat a disk image with the modules rb1773.dr and its 
associated 40 track DS descriptors in private email. Replacing the original 
CCDISK module and D0 and D1 descriptors in the stock OS9boot file with 
these, should IMHO work and do what Chad needs.

Comments?
