[Coco] mess HD problem

[Kip Koon]

Hi Bob!
I've never had a version of MESS with two drives.  Did you compile a custom
version of MESS?  I usually used the latest version of MESS when I was
playing around with it and it always had just one HD.

Hi all,

I used the "devs" utility, and found that the "static mem" pointer for both
H0 and H1 are the same at $6900, but DD is $7900. My guess is that this
should not be so. Each device should have its own static memory.

I wonder if emudsk.dr should be recompiled to work correctly with two hard
disks?
If I remember correctly, each RBF driver should have the correct number of
drives set in the source.
