[Coco] Nitros9 EOU

[Bill Nobel]

EOU boots into text mode on Alpha 1, and GUI is started by simply typing ‘gshell’ at the shell prompt.

I thought about making it totally text for this App, but found I needed a bit of graphics to create a decent tree view of the boot structure, and I needed check boxes, drop downs and a few radio buttons. The GIME hardware text doesn’t give any graphical characters.

Will you have it work the same as most Linux distros which give you the option of configuring booting into either text mode or gfx (or maybe it’s already set up that way, I haven’t tried it yet)?

I’ve decided to make it a 40x24 Graphic MultiVue App. for GShell.  Since we have setup EOU as a GUI based system.  It will be setup for choice by user based on the hardware they have.

It will be released as a bootable disk that automatically starts into the editor, but will be installable as a standalone with it’s own installer onto whatever HD you have.  It also will have it’s own internal Database containing descriptions of each module as well as modifiable descriptors for Drives and terminals.  I expect it to be a multi disk application since I want it to cover ALL formations of the Coco 3.

Cool, Bill… I know a few others have started/attempted this (I even delved into it briefly back in the day), but it’s something that really needs to be done. You should check with Bill Pierce, because I think he had started one for use over drivewire. Is your utility going to be on a modern OS, or running from with NitrOS-9 itself (or both)?

Hey Alex, Yes at the moment it’s only SDC & emulators.  I am currently acquiring a list of hardware for all Coco3’s.  I am going to make a EOU Boot editor that is hopefully easy to use.  You pick the hardware you have from a list and the program builds a boot for you.

Is CocoSDC an absolute requirement, I have a 2Meg Coco3 and a SuperIDE
Hard Drive. I have been able to use the Drive Wire Boot version of
Nitros 3.03 with my system. Is Nitros9 EOU a new Kernel and if so is
a boot from Drive Wire Version planed or is it just some new modules
and programs and configuration files that I could tack onto my existing
system.

I figured out my problem was that my FTP client defaults to active mode.
Switching to passive mode solved the problem.

I have had a couple of reports of trouble accessing it (and others have
had no problem). I will make a webpage download version later this week,
that will hopefully let people get it that way as well (although that will
only have the latest version, not the older ones for regression testing).
If your email can handle large attachments (being gmail I am pretty sure
it can), I can email it to you in the meantime. Did you want the 6809 or
6309 version?

I tried to access your ftp server, but after successfully logging in,
commands generally return an error "500 I won't open a connection to <my
local address> (only to <my wan address>)" apparently there is a problem
caused by nat.
