Excellent. I will play with this tonight. Here is a question. Right now my  
OS9 Lev2 boots from /d0 but "switches" over to /h0 as its booting to load  
the Shell in the /h0/cmds , the startup file and so on. So the floppy,  
just kinda gets it started. Can I setup Nitros9 to be the same way once I  
get the B&B drivers working?

Also, when you say use sysgo.h0 you mean I must add that to the bootlist  
file as well as the B&B file?

Thanks

Charlie
