[Coco] Nitros9 boot fails with HDB DOS in rompak

[Charlie Pelosi]

Hi Robert. I'm sure you read on the list, everything works great once I cut 
the proper trace. :)

As always, I want to thank you for your help. You're patience and knowledge 
are very much appreciated.

Thank you.

This will make a few users over at Atariage happy. We are going to mod a few 
carts with HDB-DOS roms and get casual coco users (vintage computer 
collectors / players) to start playing on the coco more. :)

Charlie
