Robert, what I was hoping for was that one of the DECB disks on the hard 
drive had a boot-track on it, or that OS9/NitrOS9 on the OS9 partition would 
auto-boot. if I select slot 3 of the MPI. This doesn't appear to be the 
case.

I got around it by booting from a disk image of NitrOS9 that I used with 
MESS, and that works, all except the clock; it seems that the clock that 
MESS uses is not completely supported with VCC; at least, the date is 
correct, but  the time is not.
