No biggie.  I think anybody who even read the e-mail knew you were 
just making a wise crack.  I was writing OS-9 code back when I was a 
kid.  Don't kid yourself.  :)

On a more serious side, I think you should supply SS35 images of 
NitrOS-9 so that DriveWire or CoCoNet users can mount the boot img on 
drive 3, for example, and do a BACKUP 3 to 0 like I'm doing with the 
SS35 OS-9 images I have, to copy the boot disks directly to a real CoCo floppy.

I also didn't see /t2 loaded in NitrOS-9.  I would think that with 
these networking schemes starting to come into play that you would at 
least have the communications ports included in os9boot.
