I have been using an excellent commander for Scorpio with a propeller for 3 years now. It's called
HDDCOMMANDER v1.2f CREATED BY LIGHT OF D.C.G. It has 5 panels. 4 panels for
all disks, the fifth for service information. Allows you to switch sections and
discs for each disc, play music, read texts, watch pictures,
search file by mask and other functions. At the bottom it displays the EPROM version and
time with CMOS on SMUC. I set it to boot on startup
computer. In short, extremely convenient.

Yes, it’s convenient, but few people will want to redo their computer.
Best regards, Alexander Kushnikov aka Sander.

It will boot only from a screw from its own working partition.
This is where the swap will take place. And modules/overlays will be loaded from there. And what
carriers it will understand - this will depend on the individual overlay
device driver, which can always be attached to the commander. In general,
rulez! But! I'm not writing this at all! Otherwise they will start bombarding me with questions: when,
when... :)
