[Coco] Some Coco Questions

[Derek]

That makes sense. Is this the same way a real HD connected to the coco works as well? 

I have been thinking about picking up a drive package from Cloud 9

thank you for the reply

with the DRIVE ON, all the drives you access will be in the HD. With 
DRIVE OFF, #0 to #3 are real floppy drives, the rest are in the HD.
I hope this is what you were asking.
To backup diskettes to the HD just put the diskette in the drive #0 and type
DRIVE OFF
BACKUP 0 TO #n
Where # is the number of HD partition / disk where you what the backed 
up disk to be stored

I used the make IDE utility in Jeff Vassours package to create the drive. I want to use it under RS-DOS but for the life of me I can not figure out which drive number it assigns to the HD.  I can see where the added RGBDOS commands allow me to turn on and off disk drives. What I am wanting to do is copy virtual floppy disks to the HD under the RS-DOS not OS-9. Any help or pointers to an FAQ would be great
