[Coco] No windows

[Bill]

The 'nos96809l2v030300coco3_dw.dsk' must have been corrupted, because I re-downloaded the entire NitrOS-9 project zip file directly onto my Mac, and it seems to work fine. Now I must remember how to permanently change the colors. My monitor doesn't do too well.

I would guess that the device descriptors for the windows are set up that way - maybe check the screen types with XMODE and makes sure they aren’t FF (which means “use current screen” - it’s meant to put multiple windows on one physical screen).
