The problem is the following, for make a kernel version where support disk-driver, then i need make one kernel by each hardware used in the world, then much people have IDE sunrise, then i can make only one kernel with IDE driver inside, but without DISK-DRIVER offcourse, and the DISK driver are implement on external file driver. That save a lot of my time. The you can use MNBIOS a lot before..... the same S.O. that i use today!!!!!
For see what is capable the MNBIOS, well, I before yesterday talk with a photographer for a sesion to shot the TV set. But i will called when on the screen are something more interesting that a couple of windows with multicolored text inside of and a desk of flat color around. I think i can program a runtime for draw a *.BMP file on desk or something like that or using graphics chrs (that last is better because no use memory), well the time say that.

And as there are other means to achieve the same (openMSX), and there is plenty of Sunrise IDE documentation (no need to go delving the openMSX sources), there is no real need for it either. There are others who have had similar problems in the past, or still have, and they have managed aswell with less means.

how about a driver selection for the diskdrive portion? (load the correct driver at boot)
... or why not stick to msxdiskbios? or is that to crappy in your opinion??

Yeah, the DiskROM requires room for some variables in the system area... And as that one is a custom one, not the default MSX one, it can't be done...

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WHAT SUCK SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The DSKI$ and DSKO$ work in offset from boot sector of each partition, i can't do a load or write of partition table with that..... i need wr the logical sector 0 of whole HD.
somebody, can write here ones lines in basic?, maybe with DEF USR, or use machine code included (using DATA commands .....), i need the way write any logical sector of whole HDD (not in offset to a partition).
That because i need that for make the MSX4 HDD logical formated.

It's impossible to do in BASIC. You will have to use assembly.
