THANKS for your help Fedor. But I'm must say that I don't have any working
floppy disk drives. The only one I have is for CoCo 1 and is out of 
order (defectuous)
( that's a good question : would this drive work for a CoCo 3 ? ) .

So I can't read your OS-9 disks ...

Do you have a  Floppy Disk Drive for the CoCo 3 ?

I have not yet contacted Mr Ph. Hennebert in Brussels 'cause I'm not in 
Brussels very
often theses days.

I don't have any idea fot the price of a 128K CoCo 3. But I'm worrying about
the cost of the shipping. Could it be possible that it would  be more 
expensive
than the CoCo3 itself ? Can someone on the list give me more addvices 
for such price ?

Can someone on the CoCo list give me more details about NitrOS-9 ?
