[Coco] I need copies of unmodified OS-9 disk images

I found, and downloaded, the coco.zip archive. Fortunately, WinZip allowed 
me to extract the disk images without  problem. It appears that the images 
are all complete, except for the MultiVue 2 disk. The BuildMV and startup 
files are not there, and there is no CMDS directory. On the other image I 
have for that disk, those 2 files are there, and there is a CMDS directory. 
Having never owned a copy of MultiVue, I don't know what the exact contents 
should be.

Otherwise, I booted OS-9 L2 in MESS, under the 6809 version of emulation, 
and it runs exactly the way it should. I had forgotten that you get a 
magenta colored blinking block cursor. All of the commands are there, and 
both the Master and Config/Basic09 disks are complete. I also found the C 
disks. There were 4 total, and I believe the last 2 were later additions, 
but I may be mistaken there. The disks are cc_1, cc_2, clib, and cctools.

The development system disks were not included, but the ones I have appear 
to be complete, and have just been modified by additions. The one thing that 
is different on the OS-9 disks I just downloaded is the inclusion, on the 
Config disk, of emudsk.dr and h0.dd. I know that the original os-9 disks did 
not include a hd driver or descriptor. You had to get the dev system disks 
to have those. The original hd driver was not emudsk. It was cc3hdisk.dr.

Oh, and the system clock tells me it's 1910. heh I don't see any conflicts 
with dates otherwise, so maybe the date mod is more for us than for the os.

I have included below a ls output of the directory tree of the disks I got 
today. If anyone here has an original (or backup of it) of any of these 
disks, would you do me a favor and compare this list with the original 
disks, and let me know if you see any differences? Or, just make me a 
listing and email it to me?
