[Coco] Now using VCC as well as MESS

[Bill Pierce]

No. ALL dw access on the becker disk is through the becker port. Until you know what they are, ignore the /nx descriptors. You're looking for something special... there is nothing special... just disk drivers.
you cannot access the /nx descriptors directly. They are for something else altogether.
all drive access is through /x0 -/x3 and /dd and /d0 - /d3 for the floppies

becker=dw=becker.
dw is real coco
becker is vcc

all becker drivers on a becker disk are EXACTLY the same as dw drivers on a dw disk, just for different systems. 

On the becker disk:
rbdw = becker rbf driver
dwio = becker sub 
/x0 - /x3 = becker descriptors


On the dw disk:
rbdw = dw rbf driver
dwio = dw sub 
/x0 - /x3 = dw descriptors


dir /x0
dir /x1
dir /x2
dir /x3

since we haven't a clue where you got the disk, what's in the boot, if you're using dsk or vhd, that's all I can tell ya.

D0-D3 in my boot are the standard drives. X0-X3 are the drivewire
descriptors, and n,n1-14 are the scf descriptors for using dw via the
becker port. Right?
