[Coco] Nitros9 level 1

[Chad H]

I 'Think' I can create you a NitrOS9 level 1 boot disk if that would help.  I've experimented with this before in the past.  Creating bootable double-sided disks was harder than single sided.

Once created, Then I could just copy as much CMDS files as would possibly fit to it for you.  You want just the vanilla NitrOS9 or the one for DriveWire?

Sean, currently there are NO single sided disk images being produced for any level of NitrOS9. I personally have been complaining about this for years as it makes it impossible to backup an image up to a real RSDOS floppy without building a new bootdisk. That's the VERY item that has scared half the people away from OS9 since the beginning... building a new bootdisk.
As a note, even with just one floppy descriptor and most things stripped out (pipes, printer etc), the current build of NitrOS9 level 1 is too large to run many programs. You will receive many "Error 207 Out Of Memory" while trying to run many things. If the DW4 drivers are left in, it gets much worse.

Hi, is there a Nitros-9 level one available for a coco1, with only a stock 
single-sided fd501 floppy drive?  All I've seen in 360k versions. 
P.s. I also have a Coco3 with multipak, sdc, and drivewire.  

Thanks,  Sean R.
