NitrOS-9 Level2 will run on a 128k Coco3 although 512K would be much 
better. If you are getting 207 errors, then you probably have or are 
trying to put too many modules in the os9boot file.

It would help to know exactly what you are doing. Are you using a disk 
downloaded from Sourceforge to run a script? If so, then you know that 
NitrOS-9 runs on a 128K Coco3. Are you using some other version of OS-9 
and if so which?
