[Coco] [CoCo] bootlink, SH, NitrOS-9 info needed

[Bill Pierce]

David, the /SH descriptors are built from the same source as all the superdesc. The conditionals are set in the makefiles that determine which descriptors are built.
SH only refers to the scsi descriptor. The IDE descriptor of the same nature is "/ih". As far as I know, these are the only two of this type. Keep in mind, they do not access RSDOS disks... but OS9 disks on hdbdos rsdos partitions, such as a boot disk on d256.
To access RSDOS data on hdbdos RSDOS partitions from OS9, you need Robert Gault's "HRSDOS" or my MShell.

Gene Heskett,I am asking this if you still remember off hand or anyone else whom hasused the /SH descriptor for accessing the HDBDOS vdisk #'s from withinNitrOS-9.I was reading your documentation Gene for bootlink and see that using thisSH descriptor for what ever superdrive HDD interface you are using you canaccess your virtual HDBDOS drive's.  What I would like to know is wheredoes one find this SH driver or build it?I have been browsing the NitrOS-9 repo looking for a reference to this SHdescriptor and didn't see one other than listed in your documentation.Just wanted to know if this is still a valid option in current NitrOS-9 andRBSuper or no?Thanks :D+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+| David Ladd a.k.a.
