What I would like to see is...

A version of the RS-DOS ROM that supports 4 x 40 track floppy drives
by default (like HDBDOS) but allow an option to set the drive option
to 80 track single/double sided. The setting for this can be obtained
from the drivewire server.

Also, a VHD "hard drive" support with predetermined settings so that
the end user doesn't have to play with the partitioning and sector
locations, just choose from a few preset defaults.

This can also be set from the drivewire server side. Rom space if
needed could be obtained by dumping the 6K "3 mugsters" image taking
up space in the ROM.

Better still, a new version of RS-DOS which includes a GUI environment
and commands for using windows within BASIC.

Or a version of Nitros9 that boots from ROM and includes a new and
much enhanced (and usable) Multi-Vue.

Now I'm really dreamin'!
