[Coco] mess HD problem

[Bob Devries]

Hi all,

I used the "devs" utility, and found that the "static mem" pointer for 
both H0 and H1 are the same at $6900, but DD is $7900. My guess is that 
this should not be so. Each device should have its own static memory.

I wonder if emudsk.dr should be recompiled to work correctly with two 
hard disks?
If I remember correctly, each RBF driver should have the correct number 
of drives set in the source.
