I started with DECB longer ago then I care to admit.  I got into assembly/etc rather quickly when the basic interpreter became too clumsy.  Now I keep my coco's running due to nostagia and affection, and am still rather deep into assembly.  But the one thing I've never had the time for is figuring out where to start with OS-9 or NitrOS-9.  Unlike the good ol' days when I was a kid in the basement with a coco, now it's a hobby with rather less time available when other things come up... question:  Is there a basic starting point or newbie guide for NitrOS-9?  I'm very familar with the coco, assembly, DECB, and still have no idea really on where to start with os-9, and from what I hear, it offers an awful lot... seriously, I don't even know how to make disks or boot it up.

I've been active in the past on the coco3.com website as SC, but have decided now to get on this listserv, seems a little more straight to the point.

Thanks,
