[Coco] OS-9 Floppy

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Something bought in a shack has a derogatory connotation.

Using something in a shed any better?

(Just watched an "IN FOCUS" program from DW Germany about bad product 
police)

----------------------

EX 1 suggests a command to DECB (What you get when turning on a CoCo).

The results are unknown as what the non error checking DECB interpreter will 
do when it looks at the disk. From disk full error returned to destroying 
the OS-9 file system. Not useful!

EX 2 cannot work IMHO because ToolShed must be doing some syntax checking 
and will reject it.

You did not answer the question:

"I wonder if the file is to be read by DECB or OS-9."


-----------------------------

But you have done we users waiting for a public release of CoCoDskUtil a 
valuable service by alerting Luis that hybrid DECB / OS-9 disks exist! I was 
waiting for the correct time to tell him. That is the only way I would 
bother trying. Command line commands make me feel that I am blind. Thank 
heaven for Lotus Magellan 2.0!!!!!
