[Coco] NitrOS9 and B&B XT-RTC

[Bill Pierce]

Phillip,
First if you've already booted, then you probably already have a "/dd" descriptor in memory. You cannot have 2 "/dd" descriptors in memory at the same time. Just name your HD descriptor "/h0". Once it and the driver are loaded, type "iniz /h0". If you do not get an error, then it should work from this point.

Here is what I'm trying to do that isn't working….

I've booted from Nitros9 6309 image from DW.
I've copied the ddmaker and bbhdisk.dr files to /dd/cmds
I've run ddmaker hd to make a new descriptor for the hard drive using the 
bbhdisk.dr driver.

I then load bbhdisk.dr and load hd.dd

dir /hd just hangs….hitting break will result in everything giving an error 207 
out of memory.

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,

Philip
