Configuring the vhd and VCC was more of an issue than just using it.
Using a vhd instead of a floppy should be mostly transparent, other than the
speed and capacity.

Not sure I follow you. Anything not written for OS9/Nitros9 will have to be
ported in order to work under a different os.


What program(s) do people use to create and write coco files to the the
vhds?
Tims WinImageTool (MESS) doesn't appear to be compatible with the vhd
format.
Why is more than one virtual hd format needed?

Thanks for your help!
