[Coco] The cobbler "problem"

Scratch that ... I just found something that will prevent cobbler from ever working on a hard drive:
* Request memory for the FAT buffer + 256 bytes for stack space R.G.
ldd <DD.MAP
addd #size+256
os9 F$Mem
lbcs NoMem
On a fully loaded hard drive, the FAT is $FFFF, and you can't allocate 64K from the 64K workspace. I don't get the actual error message, though. Mine ends up failing with "Error - can't link to Rel module" followed by a #207.
Either way, the design of the utility for floppies means the modification for hard drives may take a few more lines of code than I planned.
