[Coco] HDB-DOS wish list

[mmarlett at isd.net]

Ben,

I have thought about this, not much but I think you could make a HDB-DOS
program that could do this. Use it like bank switching. A certain drive in
the first offset would have all the information and it would control the
offset to get to the proper partition. I haven't thought it all through but
I **think** it is doable as a program and a file....

??
