[Coco] CocoPi3 cannot load disk images

[Bob Devries]

I have made it work using RGBDOS and Robert's hard drive image. BEWDY...

Another related question:

Has anyone figured out how to stop the RPi from pausing and dimming the 
screen when the P key is pressed? What happens is that once the P is 
pressed, the screen dims and no more characters are input until P is 
pressed again. Very annoying when typing into an editor or NitrOS9 
command line.

Does anyone know how to stop this action?
