[Coco] Does anyone have a Level3 disk that actually boots?

Bill IIRC, Alan stated he didn't change RBF or SCF. They were stock

Speaking of DW Aaron,  Did you have to do anything for changes in RBF/SCF for 
DW4?  I am asking this as I need to figure out if I have to disassemble those 
modules from L3 or are they stock from Nitros9. So far L3 is based in these 
modules: Nitros9 (splits RBF/SCF) OS9P1 (calls nitros9) and IOMAN (maps and 
calls SCF/RBF).  I think I do have to look at both SCF/RBF to see if Alan did 
any mods in those for the memory mapping but not sure yet.
