[Coco] mess HD problem

[Kip Koon]

Hi Bob!
That is very interesting?!?  If your cmds directory is /dd/cmds then I'm not
sure what's going on.  Though it's not the same as MESS, I've run VCC with
two or even three VHD files mounted and as far as NitrOS-9 is concerned I
have not had any problems once I realized I had to copy an existing vhd file
and reformat it if I wanted another vhd file mounted in another drive.  You
can't create vhd files using Drivewire because there is an incompatibility
and I'm not sure if you can do it at all in VCC.  I hope this helps.  Take
care my friend.

Hi Kip,

yes, I tried "chd /dd" and that works, but "chx /dd/cmds" does not. 
replacing /dd with /h0 or /h1 doesn't work either.
