[Coco] [Color Computer] Multivue under latest NitrOS9

[Bill Pierce]

Nick, if you're going to boot from something else... then read the manual :-)
mainly, just copy all files from the directories they are in... to the same directories on your VHD.... then type
multistart
before you run it though... you may want to take a look in the manual at the settings for "env.file" this will be in your "/dd/sys/" dir (after you copy the files). This is the config for your colors, mouse and drives. You may want to edit it as it will most likely point to 3 or 4 floppy drives and a ram disk.... it needs to be set for your specific drives.

Again... it's OS9... It was supposed to make things easier, but it was more agrivating to set up than running files from the command line LOL
Then you need "icons" for your files... "aif" files to configure them for running... 
It's all in the manual.
Which by the way.... someone with good OCR skills needs to do the MultiVue manual. It's really got a lot of good info on the graphics, windowing and menuing systems built into OS9 L2

 I'll try it later tonight.

What I'm confused is...

I will be booting my Nitros9 from a VHD but my multiVue will be on a
DSK.

Can I access the DSK once in the VHD? (I have the VHD on my CoCoSDC SD
card - boots quick)?

Nick

 Nick... an installer?... in OS9?....... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
 Then EVERYBODY would want to use OS9 and we wouldn't be that little
exclusive elite club of people who won't help people get started in
OS9.... That would be ABSURD :-P

 Actually.... just get the MultiVue disk frm the repo.... boot it.
 Once you get the OS9 prompt, type:
 rename /dd/cmds/multistart autoexec
 now reboot the system :-)
