[Coco] rbsuper

Programmers.

I am using SuperDriver 2.1 for a large scsi drive for nitros9 only. the 
floppy I originally bought was ver. 2.1.  I created 4 partitions on a 
scsi disk, and this version has been working great for several years.

Ok,

So I have been attempting to upgrade to the nightly download of nitros9.
I copied over the specific descriptors I made originally from the 2.1 
disk, using the latest drivers with the distribution.

I get a complete boot, but it hangs when accessing /dd, which is my 
first partition on the HD.

So, I made the same  exact kernel using the rbsuper.dr and lltc3.dr 
drivers off of the 2.1 release, and it works again.

I will try using the new rbsuper with the older lltc3, and visa-versa to 
see if it can be narrowed down to one or the other.

Is any one else using the latest nitros9 build with a tc3?

I pulled the the nitros9 from the nightlies on the 10tn.  But I think 
this has been a problem longer than that because I had the same issue 
with several earlier versions years ago, not months.

I have no way to compile anything other than on the coco, so I am 
reliant on the downloadables.

For now I will use the latest build with the two older driver 
versions.   All else works great including sdc and drivewire. although 
the sdc/nitros9 does wig out at times, that's for another email! HA HA HA

Any help is appreciated.
