[Coco] The ultimate VCC hard disk image using EmuDsk

Barry, to use the SuperIDE emulation in VCC, you have the right rom, but that emulation is meant for using CF card images (copied from CF cards) in the Master and Slave slots, not VHDs.

In NitrOS9 you use the standard "rbsuper.dr" and "llide.dr" for drivers. The descriptors, "/i0" & /i1" must be set properly for accessing the SuperIDE.dll. I can't remember those settings at the moment, but I could find them on one of my old VHDs setup for that configuration if needed.

Come to think of it (after checking), the dmode setting for "/i0" would be:

dmode /i0 mgr=rbf ddr=rbsuper hpn=7 hpa=FF50 drv=0 stp=0 typ=81 dns=0 cyl=7f sid=40 vfy=1 sct=0020 tos=0020 ilv=1 sas=80 wpc=00 ofs=0000

"/i1" would be the same except "drv=1"

I have used the SuperIDE.dll quite a bit and it works, but you need a method of making CF card images.

I am having some issues getting VCC to use HDBDOS with the emulated SuperIDE
interface. I am running the rom hdblba.rom, and I have also tried hdbchs.rom.
With the SuperIDE in slot 3, set to any base address, I get a "HARD DRIVE NOT
FOUND" message. Any suggestions?
