[Coco] OS9/68K on Atari SatanDisk

[Bob Devries]

Hi Steven,

I've got good news for you!

I have managed to get OS9/68000 (the Cumana flavour) to work with the 
SatanDisk. It works well indeed.

I just needed to create a partition of type OS9. I didn't know how to do 
that, but I found out that OS9's type code is $09 (what else?). After 
creating a partition of that type, it was a breeze.

Still trying to convince it to boot from the hard disk (via the TOD autoboot 
programme, but no luck so far.

Is Paul Seniura still lurking on this list?

If so, do you remember what needed to be done for BOOTOSK.PRG to read the HD 
when "h" is selected?

When I select "h", it still boots from the floppy.
