[Coco] NitrOS9 partitions

[Willard Goosey]

I have 2 partions on my Glenside IDE. Unfortunately for you I'm using Boyle's 99 driver not superdriver so "how I did it" is no help to you. :-( (not sure I remember anyway :-()

Adding to my previous question....

I noticed in a post by Gene Heskett, that the wpc and ofs descriptor 
settings are indeed set aside to be used for partitioning.

The question now becomes: Has anyone done this before?
