[Coco] partial OS9 boot from hard drive (back on topic)

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Vern,

Why don't you purchase SuperDrivers from Cloud-9.  It comes with a  
bootable disk that, with a little tweaking from DED, will boot right  
to your hard drive.  The drivers are packed with features, making it  
the best IDE/SCSI driver for the CoCo ever made.
