[Coco] OS-9 Floppy / Printer configuration?

[Chad H]

Been there...done that, although I couldn't use the 80 track version since
I’m using actual physical 40-track drives/disks.  However, I did get the
"disk 2" for the coco level 1 and all it has was a basic boot setup.  There
were no module files or anything there.

"NitrOS-9/6809 Level 1 Disk 2" is clearly labeled.  Disk 1 and 2 are
combined into a single disk for the 80 track and DriveWire disk
images.
