[Coco] disk image software question

[Mark Marlette]

Bill,
That is correct. Not sure if any mods have been done since it was released in to PD that would prevent this.

David, I was under the assumption (I may be wrong) that you can use both scsi and ide with the SuperDriver. You need:
rbsuper.dr
lltc3.dr
llide.dr
i0-i2.dd
s0-s6.dd
>From what I was told, both sub-modules can exist ing the same boot as long as you have both controoler and they're mapped to different i/o addresses. Again, I may be wrong. I do use the ide driver for the Glenside ide and it works great. I can access drivewire and the ide plus any floopy drives I may have connected.

OK here's what I'm trying to do....

I have between 20 and 25 mb of data on a
zip100 disk that I am trying to
transfer into a format that either Drivewire or
the Vcc can access the Zip
disk is in OS-9 format I am not able at this point to
connect either of the
two zip100 drives I now own to the CoCo, because
Superdriver cannot access
both IDE and SCSI devices within the same boot
session, and I cannot get
NitrOS9 to boot with drivewire and allow me to access
the Zip100 drive
without an additional SCSI hard drive in the system, the one I
had crashed.
The Zip100 disk was a backup of the drive that crashed.

fine.  You will want to format the disk using DECB or

intended use after inserting it.
