[Coco] MPI and NitrOS-9

[Bill]

I don't have a combo drive that has a single 3.5" and a 5.25", so that is the way I copy/move stuff from one medium to another. All I have is a dual 3.5", a dual 5.25" and two controllers. And my eyesight has failed enough that merging the two is out of the question.

Bill,

Why in the world do you want the 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" drives on different controllers? Your drives will work perfectly on a single controller.

Are you trying to have either drive as drive #0 by switching from one controller to another? You can have NitrOS-9 boot from drives other than /D0. Most games can be made to work from drives other than /D0.
For that matter, you could use Drivewire and store your disks on your PC rather than a floppy disk.

Robert
