[Coco] make case sensitive?

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, there's one disk that's 4 meg!!
I checked it and it's:
Nitros96309L2030209coco3_cocosdc.dsk
free /d0 says:

Capacity: 18,432 sectors (1 sector clusters)
15,981 free sectors,largest block 15,981 secotrs

Why is this disk so huge and so empty?
I know the Sierra disks are being made large enough to hold all the game disks and save files, but this is just a nitros9 boot disk... There's nothing special on it. It's just the superdriver boot.
I think there are a couple of others as well.

There are many "makefile"s, and because they are "included" what counts is 
the case in the parent makefile.  There could even be a rule that makes 
them equivalent in rules.mak.  I've note that, but since it worked, I 
haven't gone to the trouble of figuring out the exact mechanism.  But then 
I haven't a clue about your R-Pi setup either.

WRT your comment about Sierra games, I do note that several of them are 
bigger than even a 720 coco compatible floppy and several are bigger than a 
1.44 meg floppy, but when mounted to a dw server, that is not a 
consideration.  Max filesize for a dw served image is probably the 1 sector 
per cluster limit of just over 132 megs, so that would not be a concern.

Perhaps the R-Pi could be your dw server?  Don't miss-lay it. :)
