[Coco] SideKick 1.15

[Luis Antoniosi]

As a hint, If you need to deal with partitions, drivepak partitions or
extending hdb-dos drives place some .bas files on drive 0 of each
partition that will do:

drivepak:

DRIVE #"DOS"
RUN"SIDE.BAS"

hdbdos:
POKE&HD938,X:POKE&HD939,Y:POKE&HD93A,Z
RUN"SIDE.BAS"

So you can access other parititions from the drive 0 of each
partition. Save together. For example in hdb-dos:

PART0.BAS:
POKE&HD938,5:POKE&HD939,&H2D:POKE&HD93A,&HCC
RUN"SIDE.BAS"

PART1.BAS:
POKE&HD938,7:POKE&HD939,&HA3:POKE&HD93A,&HCC
RUN"SIDE.BAS"

Of course, being a coco1/2 you must set it to all-ram first
