[Coco] NitrOS-9 boot from floppy issue

[Mark Marlette]

Robert,

The Cloud-9 build is over a year old.

My next product release will have the Cloud-9 branch integrated with the NitrOS-9 distribution.

When the sIDE was released back in 2004, HDB-DOS, SuperDriver were a product item. Those are now free so the branch was never updated.


Regards,

Mark

Exactly! There were two duplicate entries in your OS9Boot file, I0, i0, 
term_vtio, term_scdwn. The fatal one was term, as the system could not decide 
where to send text.

There might also be another problem which Cloud-9 should address. The clock2 
module in your OS9Boot is an old clock2_cloud9. It does not work with MESS 
configured for a Cloud9 RTC, which is the only method I have for testing it. The 
current clock2_cloud9 has a different CRC from the one on your CF card.
