[Coco] Booting OS9 on my CoCo 3

[Bill Pierce]

Tormod, I know of several people who use the "turbo" under HDBDOS, but it definately does not work in NitrOS9. Maybe one day someone will fix the drivers as it should work.

They are only a "make" away from those who want to use them.The turbo mode actually works fairly well with HDBDOS in myexperience.Tormod-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
