Kandur,

With HD meaning High Density, you will not likely be able to use the OS-9 
command Backup to move your floppy disks over to Drivewire virtuals. The reason 
is that the format are different and Backup will not run if the disks are 
formatted differently.
The command you will want to use is Dsave. That will copy over everything on the 
old disks, including the kernel and OS9Boot if you ask for it, even if the disks 
have different formats.

You will need to decide what type of disk you want for the DW virtuals. They can 
be floppy equivalents, default DW drives, or even .vhd "hard drives" used with 
MESS and VCC.
