>> The B&B CocoXT will not (as far as I know) run with HDBDOS. Not unless they fixed that in some of the various incarnations of it.
>> You need the B&B Hyper-IO disk & the B&B setup disk. There is also A CocoXT rom to boot OS9 from the HD, but it's tricky.
>> I never did try Hyper-IO while mine was running, but from what I read, it creates RSDOS disk "images" within the OS9 drive. It does not actually use partitions. 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".
>> All the disks and manuals for the B&B systems are buried somewhere deep in malted-media (good luck with that), but I also have all of what's there (I think).
