[Coco] SuperIDE and CF Cards

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

no it works, but you need enough scetors to do it.

As I said I use a 8Gb Voigon brand. It just works.

Interesting fact: i had another 8Gb that seemed to work but nitrOS-9 hangs
on startup. This same CF works fine with another computer mine: MSX. But
not the voigon. The voigon would cause the MSX to freeze when in turbo
mode....
