If I remember correctly, Luis's image and rom are for the SuperIDE emulator in VCC. This is for LBA mode IDE and most likely 512 bytes per sector theoretically, it should work in an IDE drive as well). The offset in that rom is correct. The boot drive (probably Drive255) is most likely for the IDE, so unbootable on anything (the ROM as well), but could be a slave drive to copy the data to another drive.
I have worked with this disk set in VCC and it works, but I think something may have broken in the SuperIDE emulator. I haven't checked in a while now, but it worked back with Arron's "patched" VCC for the becker port.

When I load up the HDBDOS ROM Luis provides, and peek the values, I get &H052DDC for the offset.

ROM is at https://sites.google.com/site/tandycocoloco/mess-superide

Robert:

Using an hex editor, I see the 1st 3 bytes are 07 95 00

I understand the the OS9 partition is 1st, followed by the DOS partition

When I POKE &HD938, &H07

POKE &HD939, &H95

POKE &HD93A, &H00

and then attempt to read the virtual disks (0 to 255) each one displays 
as empty, BUT when I look at the same area using a hex editor, I see 
data (not just $FF)

Any suggestions?

Ed
