[Coco] DRIVE OFF - Replacement - What Do you think.

[coco at jechar.ca]

OK but then it should work like this

DISKMODE H =   HARDDRIVE ONLY

DISKMODE N =   Network Drives Only ie Drive Wire or Coco Net.

DISKMODE F = 0-3 Floppy 4-256 Last Choice.

DISKMODE R =  RAMDRIVE 0-9  4-256 Last Choice.

DISKMODE F,H =  0-3 Floppy 4-256 Hard Drive.

DISKMODE F,N =  0-3 Floppy 4-256 Network Drives.

DISKMODE F,R =  0-3 Floppy 4-9 RAM Drive.

DISKMODE F,R,H =  0-3 Floppy 4-9 RAM Drive, 10-256 Hard Drive.

DISKMODE F,R,N =  0-3 Floppy 4-9 RAM Drive, 10-256  Network Drive.


DISKMODE F,R,H =  0-3 Floppy 4-9 RAM Drive, 10-256 Hard Drive.

F,N,H =  0-3 Floppy 4-9 Network Drive, 10-256 Hard Drive.

Would not have to be so Extensive the Important thing is that Multiple 
types of drives are access able at the same time.

Allso
