There is also the disk included in this file:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8RnV5G0TZFZTldacFdkRjhIWXc <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8RnV5G0TZFZTldacFdkRjhIWXc>
This is a VCC package for a Mac.

It should also be available here:

VCCEmuDisk.zip <http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Virtual%20Hard%20Drives/NitrOS-9%20L2%20V3.3.0/VCCEmuDisk.zip>
This is the disk only.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to type:
load drivewire_mods
