[Coco] [Color Computer] Multivue under latest NitrOS9

[Bill Pierce]

Nick, When you edit the "env.file", you will set the "/x1" - "/x3" up there and it will see them fine. It will see any drive you set it up for as long as there's a driver in memory up to 5 drives I think
 
BTW Nick, I hope to soon be anouncing the first "Official" release of my "MShell" system. I'm working a few little last minute things in right now.
MShell will view 2 directories on any 2 drives, 2 columns each, and this includes OS9 drives, RSDOS disks and partitions, PC files on your drivewire host drives.
Best of all, you can move files back and forth between any combo of the 3 types.
There's no setup other than copying the files to the drive (soon to have a install program).... No complicated config files... MShell does it all. It automatically recognizes all your drives (OS9, RSDOS, & PC host HDs).
Everything is point & click (or single key cmds if you have no mouse/joystick). Browse you OS9, RSDOS, or PC drives sytem right from the Coco and NitrOS9. 
MShell works with or without DW4 and will read/write ANY drive (floppy, HD, scsi, sasi, ide, mfm, dw4, vhd, dsk, sd, cf, etc) on your system if it has a legal RBF driver.
The only real requirement if your Coco 3 MUST be 512k
MShell also works on all Coco 3 emulators and supports the becker port.

I will definately go with the copy of files route.

So, booting the VHD, I can still access the drivewire files (assuming
I have DW drivers)?

 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
