Yes, I totally agree with you. I believe there is nothing wrong with the
disks you guys sent me at all. I also think it is a hardware problem. My
Coco can't seem to read any 1440-sector floppy disks properly, regardless
of where they came from. I'm not sure why or how though. I'm not so
worried about that problem right now though. I'm just happy I was able to
get access to a working boot disk image using Drivewire. That product has
really come in handy! My goal right now is to get NitrOS-9 3.2.4 fully
configured on my hard drive.

Okay, I tried the scripts, but the scripts only create a boot disk that
enables NitrOS-9 to boot from a floppy. After looking over the scripts,
it's still not clear to me how to modify them to create a boot disk that
enables NitrOS-9 to boot from Drive 255 of the RGB-DOS partition of my
hard drive. I also still haven't figured out how to modify the scripts to
get the hi-res joystick interface to work. Anyone know? Thanks for your
help. I'm so excited to have NitrOS-9 3.2.4 actually running!
