[coco] For Boisy or Mark ref Super Driver

[alsplace at pobox.com]

Indeed -- it seems the current vision of what the SuperBoard WILL be is 
much beyond what it was PLANNED to be.  That's very different from 
Microsoft, isn't it? :-)

And the SuperDriver model is very neat -- much like OS-9/non-6809 
systems.  There is RBF, the file manager that understands things like 
directories and such, then there is the RBsuper "driver" that is the 
common stuff that RBF type drivers do -- not sure what all that is on 
the 6809 -- leaving a low level hardware driver (llXXX) to handle the 
actual "get a sector, store a sector" part.

The upshot:  Less duplicated code.

Thanks to something Boisy fixed me up with, I *FINALLY* can have my IDE 
interface driver AND SCSISYS loaded and working together without 
conflicts/lock ups.

I wonder:  Could the disk driver benefit from using the same RBxxx?  
Should there also be an ll1773 or whatever?  What about the RAM disk?

forward. To sum it up. If we were to sit down and attempt to do what we
have to date on the SuperBoard it probably would have never happened.
