[Coco] noswiz doesn't work for me...

[Brett Gordon]

Yeah,  I *highly* suggest making backup copies of things... including
the flash banks.  I just happened to use CoCoBoot to back up my entire
CF IDE and Flash Banks, but never had an issues with CCB screwing
anything up (yet).   I suggest you read the os9l2.txt file included in
the zip, AND the HELP file included in the binary releases of
CoCoBoot.

If anyone wants to go "hard-core" with cocoboot the binary releases
contain "beginners.txt" a 3/4 written intro to Forth, and
"hacking.txt" an intensive look at the internals of CoCoBoot.

Not to worry, CoCoBoot will only try to write to your Flash ROM, if
you ask it!  (avoid choosing a boot target of "ROM" when asked....)

I also suggest that people use DriveWire to load up the latest live
images of Nitros9 and load them with CoCoboot for two reasons:

a. You can't hurt a url image (and neither can CCB)
b. The url images already contain the "ccbkrn" module needed for the
new boot process.

Sincerely,
Brett  Gordon
