This correct. If you have (example) a MyIDE-partition D1: it has higher priority then the D1: connected to SIO.
If you want to access the D1: SIO-device (real or virtual), you need to press SHIFT+CONTROL+D to Disable MyIDE.
When done, SHIFT+CONTROL+E to Enable again.
That's clear. But I meant another thing:
I've got a MyIDE drive with 4 partitions (D1: to D4:). The 4.3I OS will let me access only partitions D1: to D3:. D5: to D8: are routed to the SIO devices, and D4: is completely dead (it always gives an Error 160 in MyDOS and the SIO bus isn't accessed at all). So it seems that this Error 160 comes from the MyIDE OS.
IMO it would be better to route D4: (and any other partitions that the MyIDE OS won't habdle) to the SIO bus.
A feature in fdisk to enable/disable partitions (with the drive bits) would be very fine, anyways :-)
so long,
