[Coco] Some Coco Questions

[Derek]

I have a couple of questions

1st Question: When using a virtual HD specifically in the VCC emulator. I have a virtual HD setup and it boots with a ADOS menu. I used the make IDE utility in Jeff Vassours package to create the drive. I want to use it under RS-DOS but for the life of me I can not figure out which drive number it assigns to the HD.  I can see where the added RGBDOS commands allow me to turn on and off disk drives. What I am wanting to do is copy virtual floppy disks to the HD under the RS-DOS not OS-9. Any help or pointers to an FAQ would be great

2nd Question: I have a 3.5" and a 5.25" drive hooked up to my real Coco III. The 3.5" drive is set as drive 0 and the 5.25" is set as drive 1. What I am having trouble with is using the DOS command on drive 1 to boot OS-9 disks. I used the "Drive1" command to make the 5.25" drive my default, then type DOS and it reads the 5.25" drive for a moment, then switches to reading the 3.5" Drive 0 and then goes back to the OK prompt. Is there a way to boot OS-9 disks off a drive designated as Drive1?

Thanks all!
