[Coco] Supercomm fails to load on NitrOS9 lvl 2 on my CoCo 3 with 128K, and a couple of other questions?

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, I understand what the problem is, but as to how to fix it, I'm not a systems programmer. I have played around with it some, but like you and Bill Noble, I can't get past the "sub-modules" where everything is split into two modules. In the case of DW4, it's split into 3 parts... rbdw wich belongs in the rbf section, and scdwv which belongs in the scf section, which is fine, except they both use dwio which is mainly rbf by use, but scf in actual operation, so it cant be put into either catagory. My thoughts were what if we combined rbdw with dwio, and a seperate module with scdwv and dwio, then each would have their own io section in the rbf and scf areas. My problem, is I don't know enough about the way the system works to combine them effectivly so it would work.
We run into the same problems with the split "super drivers", and a couple of others, but I think they will all combine back to their origianl forms, but a driver for each drive system would have to be built.
Dw4 was designed from the ground up as seperate modules.

Can we put a link in that L3 tree, that sends whomever clicks on it to

a "here's your sign" maker. ;-)

ATM, Bill, what you are doing codewise seems
impressive, and I wouldn't 
be surprised if you couldn't take it apart, add the
missing stuff, and 
actually make it work.  The concept reads like it should
work, but the 
L3 code we have is rather far from complete in terms of
implementing 
that concept.
