[Coco] Some help on CoCoXT and RGB-DOS

[Bill Pierce]

Daniel,
Though the hyper-io manual is not there, there's enough info on it to get it going in the:
CoCoXT UM 2.4.pdf (p. 68)

as you want and even create "directories" just like in OS9. So in essence, you 
can have several RSDOS "vhds".

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
