[Coco] Booting the supplied NitrOS-9 HDD on VCC

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Possibly, I just reinstalled VCC and the working directory was where I did a 
manual install of VCC and have many old files.

I will try a new clean directory.

ERR, the date on the vhd zip I used was 3/23/2010. I missed that!

Sorry.

SHF
