[Coco] noswiz doesn't work for me...

[Brett Gordon]

Hmm... CoCoBoot's IDE driver is slow, but not 5 mintues slow!  I bet
xroar is returning a "rdy" bit in the IDE harddrive address, but then
returning "bsy" bit... thus confusing CoCoBoot into thinking theres a
glenside/superIDE  drive (but there really isn't)  I don't now much
about Xroar, but I'll download that emulator, test things out and get
back to you.

Its possible to "escape" out of the your problem by holding any key
down during boot.. this might get you started, but would suck for
daily operation.. its best off for me to try to "fix" the IDE driver.

Does Xroar support the Glenside interface ?
