I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do here.

Are you trying to boot a *standard* Nitros9 boot disk, such as 
"nos96309l2v030300coco3_80d.dsk" with the CocoSDC active, that is, 
putting that file into one of the two slots of the CocoSDC, and typing DOS?

I doubt if that will work.

I let a 512K memory scan run forever when I first got the system set up again, and have since cleaned the drives, cartridge contacts, etc. and have spent many nights up all night until sunrise copying and playing and doing stuff just fine.
