[Coco] New version of SDC-DOS available

[Barry Nelson]

Actually I have had a great deal of luck using a shortcut/cheat. I edited the /sd0 and /sd1 devices to have the following geometry:

Sides = 1
Sectors per track = 18
Sectors on track 0 = 18
Tracks = 16384

Since it is 1 side and 18 sectors per track, cobbler and os9gen seem to work fairly well.
