[Coco] FLEX 4 Coco3

[Bill Pierce]

Stephen, my question is why do you keep mentioning the 6502 when the Evenson Consulting site SWTPC emulator (and disks) are 6800/6809 ? I see nothing there even mentioning 6502.
The 6809 OS9 images there are not readable with 'normal' Coco drives, but CAN be read using DriveWire (SSSD? 8 inch?). The Flex disks however, I have not found a way to read them except in the emulator.

The 'fufu' disks are 'repaired' copies of some of the original disks that were unreadable at the time the site was put up. I think the 'SWTPCFull.exe" setup package includes the repaired disks (can't remember).

As for the OS9 disks, I have all the files extracted from the disks to the PC (and OS9 disks & VHD as well), with the exception of 1 or 2 disks that were unreadable (Flex format possibly?). The original Sleuth for OS9 (unmodified) is there on OS9 disks as well as in my archives.
The extracted files from the OS9 disks are here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23059963/Stuff/SWTPC%20Disks%20Extracted.zip

The files will have to be copied back to disks.

If needed, I can provide the disks in 'standard' Coco OS9 format OR a VHD of the files.
The Flex disks might be readable through OS9 on the SWTPC emulator then copied to OS9 disks, but I haven't tried that route as I lost interest once I found there was nothing of value on the OS9 disks and I'm not really interested in FLex. The OS9 files are just vanilla OS9 L1 and are nothing special, except maybe having historical value. The drivers are all for the SWTPC hardware and therefore useless on the Coco, though there is a good example of how to set up OS9 on ROM as that's how the SWTPC boots OS9. The 'boot track' is in rom and executes on powerup and loads the 'OS9Boot' file.

I found my binder with FLEX SLEUTH 6502 to 6809 program listing.
(Disassembly)

After entering the input and output file names the user enters
"2" for 6502.

I have no way to read any floppies now and FLEX SLEUTH I never
copied to an OS-9 file. For the number of years that have passed disks are
unreadable.

Has
three SLEUTH disks.
