This sounds interesting Steve. I'm sure I could put enough smarts into
M100 CP/M so that it could co-exist with a M100 "disk drive".
Particularly if your disk is at the end of CP/M disk, ie the upper REX
blocks. I could set the end-point of CP/M disk to be below M100 Disk.

Quick note just to say that I have got a plan now, and have started
coding, for how to implement an internal "disk drive" using both REX#
and REXCPM. This is the last major hurdle that I have wanted to
overcome for a long time.
Basically, the user can identify some of the 32k blocks to be
allocated to form a disk. There will be an upper limit of 16 blocks
in the disk, for a total of 512kB. There will be support for up to 31
directories (nested) and thinking 256 files total. Organization will
be based on 128 byte sectors.
Anyhow that is the plan. Not sure when I will get it done but I'm on
the way now. Looking forward to seeing this through to fruition.
