[Coco] shell in NitrOS-9

[Wayne Campbell]

I guess I was abit vague there. Sorry. I am running NitrOS-9 in the MESS 
emulator. I don't have my old CoCo3 anymore, and don't see getting one 
anytime soon.

I want to be able to boot from the HD image that is being used in the 
emulator. I found that Aasron's disk has a special hd driver called EmuDsk. 
I think it should be able to allow me to boot from the image, but I'm not 
sure
