[Coco] Glenside IDE problem

[Bill Pierce]

I think I've found the problem. There is an error in the "i1_ide.dd" provided on the Nitros9 distros. The "/i1" desc is internally named as "i0" which when loaded in the boot with "i0" makes it clash with i0.
Since I'm not yet ready to use that desc, (I plan to do partitions) I just ommited it from the boot and the problem disappeared.
So now either my drive is formatting.... or the Coco is frozen :-)
Actually, it just started counting... and with a 4g format, I imagine I've got a long time to wait. I've forgotten how slow format is on a real Coco as I do all my VHD formatting in VCC (overclocked) so it only takes a few seconds to format a 96meg drive :-)

Is the jumper properly set? Ff50 or ff70? What does the descriptor say?
