[Coco] Nitros9 on Keil

Hi,

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I'm having no luck in 
getting OS9 Level 1 to boot in David Keil's Coco 2 emulator.

I've downloaded nos96809l1v030209coco_40d_1.dsk and disk 2 from the 
sourceforge website.

I've configured the emulator with a FD502DS controller. I'm assuming the 
'DS' means double-sided?!? From the length of disk 1, it would appear to be 
double-sided.

Typing "DOS" and hitting enter simply clears the screen and displays "OK". 
Typing "DIR" shows garbage.

What am I missing here?

FYI, my ultimate aim to is to install OS9 (Level 1) on a hard drive 
partition (to be used with a GlenSide-compatible IDE). I have no physical 
floppy drives for my Coco, so I'm hoping this can all be done on emulators. 
I'm open to any suggestions as to how this could more easily be achieved.

TIA
Regards,
