This is Version 3.2.9, Single Sided, 40 Track.  I managed to copy all the CMDS directory from my NitrOS9 Master.
I also copied a "DISKCOPY" utility which I used in making this disk.  It is similar to a PC DOS "XCOPY /S".  It's made to copy directory trees and their contents where BACKUP copies the whole disk track by track of course.

I changed the /DD, /D0, and /D1 descriptors with DMODE for 1 sided disks instead of the default 2 sided disks and COBBLER'd the disk again so you should be good to go!

Built and tested on my real 64k white CoCo 2 :)

Thanks Chad. That would be a big help. It would be the plain vanilla for that one, it's all stock (64 white coco1). Sean R.

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?

Thanks for the response Bill. I'll just keep using my old Tandy level one for that coco then. Sean R.

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.
