[Coco] HDB-DOS + SDC

[Brett Gordon]

Actually Kip, YA-DOS is a branch of HDBDOS, but highly modified.  I
think the only feature I intentionally disabled was "flexikey", for
the simple reason, that I haven't a clue what it does.  I guess there
was some issue of Rainbow in 1984 or something that explains what its
for.  All the HDBDOS favorites, such as "RUNM", "AUTOEXEC.BAS",
"RENAME DRIVE", etc... are all still there in YA-DOS.  Admittedly, the
"DRIVE" command is vastly, if not confusingly, expanded.

I maybe started this thread by accident.  I already had this
discussion about HDBDOS supporting SDC earlier. (I forgot!)

I do like the idea of multiple ROM's.  I often think about plopping in
a driver into YA-DOS to handle a ROM(s) as a drive.. then we could
have a filesystem on a ROM... not sure what coolness that would lead
too.

I still have the HG diff patches for a SDC capable HDB-DOS, if anyone
is interested.

I would love to see the extra features in HDB-DOS added to YA-DOS.  I like the idea of a do everything dos rom.  Besides, all new hardware for the Coco needs to be supported in the rom image one way or another.

My mind is racing with possibilities!  I like to see the Coco Platform pushed to its limits.  Will we ever reach the end of what we can do with this 6x09 based machine?  I don't think so.  Even if we do,  it's fun anyway and quite educational as well.  :P
