[Coco] The difference between /SD0 and /D0

[nickma2 at optusnet.com.au]

That makes sense.

I recall the error was #247.

It is a large volume so it prbably is LBA. I assume that by accessing
it as /D0, that has confused something and then stops it from reading
at all.

Bug in this version?

I would have thought that if it is /SD0, then it should not be able to
be accessed by /D0 (or at least blocked to prevent problems).

Things like this can send a newbie like me all confused before I
start!

 Hey nick. I'm no expert on OS9, but I believe /d0 and /sd0 are two
 different "pointers" to the same thing - your SDC drive. /sd0 speaks
 LBA mode to your SDC to access large harddrives, and /d0 speak
 old-fashioned track/sector geometry... Does nitros9 return an error
 when accessing these? I'm pretty sure both are linked to RBF, and
 both descriptors expect a RBF filesystem. on drive 0
