Ah! So *that* is what Attach is for!
This is something missing in UCSD IV.0 for the TI-99 - there is no standard
way to add new devices, they had to be "hacked" in the hard way. I had
descriptions on how to add a ramdisk, but never got it to work...

Really would like to be able to boot off the compact flash disk on the
p-system!

Wonder how hard it would be to add SYSTEM.ATTACH to a version that doesn't
have it. We are also missing a debugger as well. Oh well, surprised it even
runs at all on a system with such a small amount of RAM as the TI has...
