[Coco] make case sensitive?

Tormod, If it's an SD card image, then it needs it's own extension. Using "dsk" is decieving and starts long drawn out threads on the list that never seem to go away... Just when you think it's safe to read the list again.... they come back!!
Seriously, If this is the case, then another extension really needs to be used. I know I've seen some SD images as "img" even though this can be confusing as well since that's used for quite a number of things.
"sdi", "cfc", "cfd" ???
Even using "vhd": would be better as it would better describe the media.

BUT... I don't think this is the case here as I can read the "dsk" in the floppy drive slot on Vcc. I don't think you can do that on an SD or CF image as it would be partitioned and would not read as a floppy.
The "sdc" dsk seems to be a normal (but oversized) disk image.

Note that the disk image name ends with "sdc". It is for SD card
AFAIK. Some Cloud9 product isn't it?
