Well It does work,
I will create a reduced size version (Current version is 188MB )  and 
post it in in a week or two.

More importantly  NOS9_6809_L2_v030300_coco3_cocosdc.dsk  03/07/2020 
23:56 should  be retested by the Nitros9 team I think it is broken.

I suspect that the modules rbdw3 dw3 were at some point replaced by
dwio and I assume that it was tested at the time and found to work
however it has since broke. Reverting to rbdw3 dw3 was I thought a
"Hail Mary" but it did work.
