[Coco] Issues with NitrOS9 build

[Bill Pierce]

Bob,
Could it be that Vcc drive emulation is not recognizing the 80trk properly? After all, it is a 35trk SSDD emulation when in rsdos/rgbdos. Personally, I've never had any luck booting 80trk disks in Vcc, but the repo has never had disks this good either :-)

I did a CMP of the os9boot files on the 40 track disk 
(nos96309l2v030209coco3_40d_1.dsk) and the os9boot file on the 80 track disk 
(nos96309l2v030209coco3_80d.dsk) and found that the only differences were 
two bytes in each Dx module (IT.TYP and IT.CYL) and of course, the CRC bytes 
for each of those (4) modules.

So why the failure of the 80 track image?
