[Coco] Hacking the SuperIDE

the best part of superIDE is that I can make a full backup in 15
seconds using the dd command (cygwin or unix). This speeds-up things
and make it safe for working. Also transfering back to CF takes
another 15 secs.

Yep, the sIDE has a lot o potential.

I've included in my pack the side.exe. A tool I made to insert hdb-dos
images in any of the virtual drives. You can insert in any position
even bigger than 255, also if the images are merged you can add
multiple images.

Using SIDEWalk takes too long to read all partitions and it takes long
to write them all back. My tool works from command line and is very
fast, like. Must run from cygwin term like:

side put DISK.DSK 128 /dev/sdb1

side get DISK.DSK 128 /dev/sdb1
