Hi all,

OS9 ver2 standard. Coco3 512, MPI. All worked great 12-14 years ago. But
now... While making boot disk for my ST225 (B&B interface) I have run into
some curious behaviour that I haven't seen before. First a standard bootup,
load bbfhdisk and /H0. Was able to format and dircopy to /H0. And chd/chx as
well. However when I went to use any command that access' /h0/cmds, error
215. OK, I thought, boot order bug. So ezgen a proper boot disk with
bbfhdisk and H0 right after RBF and before cc3disk. Boot up. Am able to
chd/chx and access /h0 just fine but none of the /w descriptors work! (error
215) All I have is the 32 column term. So I turn everything off, disconnect
the power to the ST225, but not the cables, boot up, and presto, all the
windows work fine. How do I get this to work? Thanks.
