[Coco] [Color Computer] Building an embedded OS9 system from CoCo OS9

[Paul T. Barton]

Mike,

I put a copy of REL, OS9P1(KernelP1) and
BOOT inside of the coco3 rom space where
the "gurus" used to be. It fits, lotsa room.
You need to modify the rom "DOS mover" code
so that it relocates the code (in ram)
to $2600 and then jumps to $2602. Boot
then loads your fav floppy or HD-IDE
code. I suppose you could put that in
another ROM, too and eliminate floppy
& IDE drives, just re-write the BOOT module.

That's only one way, of course.

Built around a 6883, huh? I have a tube
full of NOS 74ls785's (nine?) somewhere
in my "garage"; don't even know where
they are. Isn't life like that?

Sounds like fun,

Paul T Barton
