[Coco] Some help on CoCoXT and RGB-DOS

[tonym]

There a free PDF-maker for Linux?

Running Ubuntu 14.04

Haven't a scanner, but took photos on the iPhone of the 2.4 manual I have, and the 2.6 release notes.
Gathered up the 2.6c OS-9 and RSBasic disks, just need a way to put together 55M in photos into a more manageable package.

Tony,

If you can send me that I would be grateful, and if you have the manual 
for Hyper I/O will be handy too.

Thanks!
Daniel

From what I understand, it allows you to create RSDOS disks as large as you want and even create "directories" just like in OS9. So in essence, you can have several RSDOS "vhds".
