[Coco] Help with Nitros9 on SDC?

[L. Curtis Boyle]

That’s really strange. You are the first person who has ever reported a freeze like that on straight boot off of the SDC. Did the image get corrupted somehow, perhaps? Maybe try re-downloading?

(You could also try it in an emulator like MAME or VCC - You will need to the mount the .DSK in floppy drive 0, and the VHD in hard drive 0), and see if that works).

I'm using the 68SDC.VHD image. It loops through the modules and after ...'Clock Clock2 it*j' it stops and says 'FAILED'. I am running in a 512K coco3 with 6809. Thoughts?
