[Coco] Need More Help On COCO3

[Mark Marlette]

John,

I'm not sure what you did but the 4n1 and CF can both be installed at  
the same time. The 4n1 just allows other devices to look like a CF.  
You have to watch how you configure the IDE bus. You CAN NOT have two  
masters or two slaves. You must configure as a master/slave.

Do you get the HDB-DOS menu screen at power up?

Does it work with the CF plugged in to the SuperIDE? If yes then it is  
a configuration issue. If no then did you flip the dip switch on the  
side of the SuperIDE and booting out of the wrong bank?
