[Coco] SideKick 1.05 update

[Bill Pierce]

The Autoexec is from the utilities disk from VCC's RGBDOS. It also works with HDBDOS. It just runs a menu that allows you to set CPU speed, DRIVEON/OFF and to Boot OS9 or Exit to Basic. I added a line to the Basic option to "DRIVEON:RUN"SIDE"
So now if I exit to Basic, it runs Sidekick :-)

And yes, I have 255 Drives on VCC. I need to check my real Coco now to make sure that Drivewire4 works as well.

Just checked... runs fine except Drive names are not showing, did you change this? I wonder if HDBDOS & RGBDOS keep them in the same location. I would think so as they're from the same original code.
Wait... hmmmm... seems I don't have Drive names on this particular VHD. So probably works fine. Still need a function to change Drive banks aka DRIVE#1, DRIVE#2 etc. It could be done from the Basic part.

Don't have one but AFAIK it will show only 4 drives as a regular FDC
right ? Or can you access any of the drives from basic like DRIVE 255
? Dunno about the speed also.
