Kandur,

I located the HDKIT package so if you no longer have the programs, I can send 
you a virtual OS-9 disk containing them.

Given the small amount of memory in your Coco3, I'd advise you use an emulator 
to unpack the archive floppies onto a virtual hard drive. Once unpacked, you can 
then copy the virtual hard drive to a real one on your Coco system.

I'm not familiar with HDKIT but documentation will be included. A cursory glance 
at the docs did not make it clear to me whether HDKIT cares what the format of 
the receiving hard drive is, relative to the original, during a Restore process.
