OK here's what I'm trying to do....

I have between 20 and 25 mb of data on a zip100 disk that I am trying to
transfer into a format that either Drivewire or the Vcc can access the Zip
disk is in OS-9 format I am not able at this point to connect either of the
two zip100 drives I now own to the CoCo, because Superdriver cannot access
both IDE and SCSI devices within the same boot session, and I cannot get
NitrOS9 to boot with drivewire and allow me to access the Zip100 drive
without an additional SCSI hard drive in the system, the one I had crashed.
The Zip100 disk was a backup of the drive that crashed.
