[Coco] Banker 256K OS-9

[Bob Devries]

Hi all,

I have located (in my disk collection) a level 1 disk with these three 
files:

INSTALL.256K
BANK.256K
B.256K

The startup script file tells the user to switch to 256K mode, and then runs 
INSTALL.256K, which in turn loads BANK.256K (the driver) and B.256K (the 
descriptor). After that, the startup script formats /B.

I have not found the source code (yet), but I'm reasonably sure it should be 
in a HOT COCO issue... but which one?

Regards, Bob Devries
