Phil,

Your question is easy to understand. Assuming you want to add files to a .vhd running under OS-9 or 
NitrOS-9, mount the .vhd in MAME or VCC as a hard drive and mount an OS-9 formatted disk as say /D0. 
Boot OS-9/NitrOS-9 from the .vhd and then copy any files you need from /D0.
Once the .vhd is set as desired, you can use Windows Explorer to copy the .vhd to the SD card.

Now if your os9.vhd on the SD card can access Drivewire, you can start Drivewire on your PC and 
mount an OS9 disk on the Drivewire slot 2. You boot the os9.vhd on the CocoSDC, and copy the needed 
files via Drivewire.
