Yeah, now I feel silly.  Of course what you have once NitrOS9 is running 
has nothing

to do with HDBDOS.  But here's another question then.  Has anyone ever 
made a

ROM image that will boot NitrOS9 directly upon turning the machine on?  
Seems

doable and probably not as complicated as things like HDBDOS. Should I 
add that

to my list of project I probably won't get done before I die? :-)
