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

[Aaron Wolfe]

There were no changes specifically for DriveWire, but in the process of
creating DriveWire several bugs in OS9 were discovered and corrected.  If
this Level 3 uses the current NitrOS9 code then all should be fine, but if
its based on an earlier version then DriveWire may not work due to those
old bugs.
