Bill,

When using emulators and you have a problem with Coco software, please list the 
version of the emulator that is being used. MESS in particular (even more so if 
you compile your own version) changes frequently and has in the past broken Coco 
emulation.
A recent version of MESS (Windows) hangs after the boot process and will not 
accept any key entries.

Which NitrOS-9 v3.3.0 disk are you trying to use? Have you changed the .dsk to 
.os9 for MESS usage?

Your best bet is to post enough information so that someone else can attempt to 
duplicate what you are doing to attempt to verify your bug. If we can't 
reproduce what you see, then something with your system is not set correctly.
