Today, Cloud-9 is announcing the availability of SuperDriver from 
Cloud-9.  This driver package is for the TC^3 SCSI Controller, SuperIDE 
Interface or Glenside IDE Interface owner who wants to use SCSI and/or 
IDE drives under NitrOS-9.  Development started before this year's CoCo 
Fest and final testing and packaging wrapped up this past week.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is absolutely the BEST driver 
package ever built for OS-9, bar none.  There are some cool new 
features, including the big one: our IDE low level driver supports 
ATAPI drives such as ZIP100/ ZIP250/LS-120/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM.  This is 
unprecedented in the CoCo world. The drivers also use a new split-level 
architecture, so running both SCSI and IDE devices won't tax your 
system's memory as much as other solutions.  In fact, low level drivers 
are fairly easy to write, and there is documentation provided to do 
show you how to do just that.

On top of that, these drivers support drive size auto query, so you do 
not have to fiddle with the device descriptor at all when formatting 
hard drives.  Unless you are doing partitioning, or want to do 
something custom, there is literally ZERO configuration.  Just boot up 
with the provided distribution disk, format your hard drives and start 
using them.
