[Coco] OS-9 Floppy / Printer configuration?

[Chad H]

I think I came across a rather large disk archive last night that contains a
rev 2.0.0 .DSK image.  I plan on checking that out shortly.
Yea I'm working with a 64k CoCo 2.  Only things modded on it are the
addition of a cooling fan and processor was changed for a Hitachi 68B09.

Level 1 rev. 1.0.0 was pretty well hard coded for the "standard" Radio Shack

drives.  I remember modifying Level 1 rev 2.0.0 for 40 track double sided 
drives because it was the first CoCo OS-9 that supported that action.



NitrOS9 is a good option.  Since you are using Level 1 rev 1.0.0 you must be

using a CoCo 1 or 2 since it does not boot on the CoCo 3, which was part of 
the reason for rev 2.0.0.  Quite simply your frustration level for what you 
want to do will be much lower with NitrOS9.



OTOH; if you look around at the various archives, RTSI, and MaltedMedia you 
might find a image of the Level 1 rev 2.0.0 disks.
