Thank you Bill!

Your documentation is almost complete! It's only missing the Hyper I/O 
manual.
I have tried today a logical format on the drive using the HDFMT.BAS but 
it gives me a BASIC error. I loaded the disk image through DW so I think 
I need really to load on a physical disk on RS-DOS.
I will put this images on a disk and try again.

Thanks!
Daniel
