[Daniel Campos]

Tony,

If you can send me that I would be grateful, and if you have the manual 
for Hyper I/O will be handy too.

Thanks!
Daniel

From what I understand, it allows you to create RSDOS disks as large as you want and even create "directories" just like in OS9. So in essence, you can have several RSDOS "vhds".
