[Coco] DW4 Nitros9 and floppy disk access

[Bill Pierce]

Do an mdir and you'll see all loaded drivers. If you used one of the repo disks to create the boot, then you should have "rbf", "rb1773", "d0", "d1", and "d2" (at least) for floppies. Almost all boot disks on the repo include these driver/descriptors.

Also, if you used the standard floppy boot disk from the repo  to create your boot, then /d0 is probably labeled /dd. In a dw boot /x0 should be /dd.

I can now boot nitros9 over DW4!

 

However when I try to access a real floppy on my Tandy FD-502 with /d0 it
returns error #240 (no such unit number)

 

In OS9 Lvl II the floppy driver was called CC3Disk (I think) which I can't
find under Nitros9.

 

What driver and descriptors do I need to access my physically connected
FD-502 floppy drives?
