[Coco] Microware OS-9 Manuals

[Greg Law]

Thanks for the information. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that I must 
be dreaming. I do see PD.T0S documented in the path descriptor section of 
LSN0 at offset $4A, but it's my understanding that the path descriptor 
section of LSN 0 isn't necessarily accurate. The SWTPC disks, for example, 
are 10 sectors per track with 400 total sectors indicating 40 tracks, but 
the path descriptor says it's 80 tracks, 2 sides, 16 sectors per track, and 
10 sectors on Track 0.

I'll keep searching for all the Microware manuals I can find since I'd like 
to go back through some of the NitrOS-9 docs to verify accuracy at some 
point.

Google search on "GIMIX documentation" points to the archives of this
list.  Ryan Pritchard uploaded all this stuff to maltedmedia in 2008:
