[Coco] HDB-DOS eprom in a floppy controller

[rietveld rietveld]

If I have a 24 pin eprom burned, with HDB-DOS LBA for the Glenside controller, will the fd500 controller still work as a normal disk controller?

I have a Glenside with 2 headers soldered on it. When i plug in a standard disk controller and boot HDB-DOS from floppy the Glenside boots up as expected but when I DRIVE OFF to use the physical disk 0 it just hangs.  I am guessing that the RSDOS in the controller is conflicting with the HDB-DOS i am loading from disk.

I was hoping that if I put HDB-DOS in the floppy controller that it would auto boot the hard drive while still allowing physical disk use with the DRIVE OFF command.

Will this work?
