Everything below this first paragraph is by way of explanation, the 
main question now (after 3 different 360k drives, all sans warrantee 
of course, died or DOA'ed) is how much would whoever charge for a 
couple bootable NitrOS9 system disks, set up to do whatever it takes 
to speak to DriveWire, one on a 35tSS, & one 40tDS?

I've tried a bunch of different variations on creating a NitrOS9 
bootdisk =on= the CoCo via DriveWire.

I can mount the DSK image, but backing up that image to a real floppy 
ON a CoCo (even those formatted under OS/9 L2, 35t, SS) fails to 
produce a bootable disk.

Do I need to use the Convert_disk routine described on Mr Boyles' 
site even tho this all occurs on a real CoCo?

I notice that ALL the DSK images boot fine under VCC, am I stuck 
using the MS/AMD clone to create bootdisks using the FDrawcmd.sys & a 
FD on the clone? Sheesh - FIRST I gotta find a 360 that does more'n format  8^/
