[Coco] Nitr0S-9 question

[Chester A Patterson]

Burke&Burke allowed putting OS9Boot on track 128 and ALTBoot on track
129 of the HD. A special ROM in the controller socket (HD Interface in
MPI slot 3, MPI set to slot 3) caused OS9 to boot directly from track
128 or (upon holding down a key) track 129. So you had your choice of
two bootfiles. Still have my complete old rig, but in storage now since
I got the SuperIDE/CF.

Where you place a boot track (or even os9boot) on such a drive depends
on the hard drive system in use. Currently available systems from Cloud9
using HDBDOS don't have the boot track within the OS-9 portion of the
drive. RGBDOS for emulators again does not put the boot track in the
OS-9 partition. I don't know what other systems such a Burke&Burke did
but they are no longer available.
