There are no patches to Color Flex that will allow it to be run on a CC3. It was gone way before the CC3 came out! It was sort of a competitor to OS-9 Level 1, and in some ways was better -- it made better use of a 32-64K environment. Frank Hogg got in a bit of hot water by saying Flex was better than OS-9! Then the CC3 and Level II came out. OS-9 was better than Flex given the extra memory to work with, and Flex fell to the wayside. There may have been later versions of Flex that exploited more memory, but none were developed for or ported to the CoCo3 that I know of.

Among the many disk images in the ISO file recently uploaded to RTSI, I came 
across a disk image of "Color Flex V5.0.2"

I believe that this will only run on a Coco 1 or 2. Does anyone know of any 
patches to enable Flex to run on a Coco3?
