Very cool.  I need to hang it up for tonight, anyway, so waiting for 
sdrive makes a convenient excuse.

So how do you get the /sdx descriptors to point to a disk image file?  
Using the current stock nos96309l2v030300coco3_cocosdc.dsk the boot disk 
shows up as /d0, "dir /sd0" or "dir /dd" results in error #244, and I'm 
getting #247 errors on a disk image in /d1.  Do I need to dmode my /dx 
descriptors to look like the /sdx?  Am I reading "cylinders" and "sides" 
/d0 and /d1 don't think exist?  Nick M. mentioned a manual, but I 
haven't found any documentation pertaining to CoCoSDC and NitrOS-9, but 
I'm probably looking in the wrong place.
