Thanks for the suggestions. I did download RGBDOS and have it working some
with OS9. I have these various emulators in DOS and OS9 in different
directories and haven't started to mix and match until I was more
comfortable with the direction I was going.

Lots of questions with no easy answers. First you need a DOS that can
access a .vhd disk. Then depending on the DOS you may be able to place a
boot track on the .vhd disk and boot into OS-9 from the .vhd disk. That
will require an OS-9 Boot and hdisk driver that can read the .vhd disk.

All of these things must be coordinated for best results. Your second
questions about os9gen and kwikgen can't be answered without your
decision of a Disk Basic Dos.

There is one possibility on my web site. http://home.att.net/~robert.gault/
Look for RGBDOS in the downloads section.
