[Coco] Need Help With My SuperIDE Hard Drive Controller

[Kip Koon]

Luis,
Do I need to download the Rocket download program just to download your two
files?  I'd rather download the two files directly.  Thanks for the help.
Kip

If you want to play with CF cards i just made this multiboot OS-9 paradise:
you get 5 distros in one CF:

512mb cf:
http://www.mediafire.com/?uvy4efpmg3lxf8x

256mb cf:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sjqde4btjab0c29

you can use dd on unix/cygwin to write on your cf or use SideWalk.

There is lots of stuff on these images.

os distros:

OS-9 L1 V2.00.00
NitrOS-9 L1 V3.2.9
NitrOS-9 L1 V3.2.9 Coco2B
NitrOS-9 L2 V3.2.9 6809
NitrOS-9 L2 V3.2.9 6309


Enjoy
