Luis,

Could you please refresh my memory on this....

It must a be a SuperDriver issue???? As the descriptor will not keep you from doing this....

Regards,

Mark

If you're running from Cloud9 stock CF I'm afraid it won't be possible.
NitrOS-9 had the /IH descriptor broken for some time. You need a fresh
install or use my CF image (requires 512mb or higher cards):

(you can write it on a 256MB card, but the second virtual disk set (MOD
PLAYER) won't be accessible.  By default on a coco3 it will boot on 6309
mode, choose option 4 for a 6809 level 2.

In my image, it's enough to do:

dmode /IH STP=0C

to access disk 12, but if it's not a os-9 disk this will give you read
error.
