[Coco] OS-9 Floppy / Printer configuration?

[Bob Devries]

Chad,

I *think* the joystick routines are built into the VTIO module. Unlike Level 2 NitrOS9, they are not a separate entity/module.

  Update...  I went back and added the SHELL to the OS9Gen and it finally
  booted.  DeskMate did load from this NitrOS9.  However, it acted like there
  was no joystick attached.  Which NitrOS9 module deals with joysticks?

  Ok, I've backed up a little bit.  My current thinking tells me the easiest
  way to get a slimmed down "OS-9" that works well with Double-sided drives is
  going to be to take the NitrOS9 and strip out the bootstrap modules I don't
  need.  I've been toying around with saving the original bootstrap modules
  and then using OS9Gen to rebuild the bootstrap leaving out some of the
  modules.  So far, I've only gotten a NitrOS9 copyright screen but it goes no
  further.

  Here was the last list of original bootstrap modules...

  REL KRN KRNP2
  INIT BOOT IOMAN
  RBF RB1773 D0
  D1 D2 DD
  SCF VTIO COVDG
  TERM SCBBP P
  SCBBT T1 PIPEMAN
  PIPER PIPE CLOCK
  CLOCK2 SYSGO SHELL



  Latest OS9Gen I used included...
  RB1773
  D0
  VTIO
  TERM
  IOMAN
  RBF
  SCF
  SYSGO
  CLOCK
  CLOCK2
  SCBBT
  SCBBP
  COVDG

  This resulted in bootup to NitrOS9 logo...went no further

  Which modules are a must to include for proper bootup?!

  Thanks.

  - Chad
