[Coco] Working on Coco Files

[Stephen H. Fischer]

I tried, they just said upload the ~ 14GB and we would look at it. Preposterous. Some of the files are online, but no one is responsible and the friend will stop hosting the site.

http://www.os9projects.com/ 

Other CoCo files have just been deleted. 

One example:

 https://ia801507.us.archive.org/isoview.php?iso=/22/items/cdrom-coco-archive/coco_archive.iso 

It also disappeared from:

 http://oldcomputerhut.net/files/Coco/ 

Yes it still in on RTSI, but how long will it last there as well as so much more:

  ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/coco_archive.iso 

And what about the files here:

   ftp://www.rtsi.com/RSDOS/incoming/ 

That is our oldest archive.

The idea that the CoCo files will be available for much longer needs to be examined. The people wanting to use the files will disappear.
