Two great resources. If you're totally new to OS-9, get a few issues of
"the world of 68' micros" starting with volume 4 number 6. There is a
great guide to getting the system up and running. It's applicable to
NitrOS9 as well, though there may be some slight differences.

The second source is "Mastering OS-9 on the Tandy Color Computer". Assumes
a CoCo3 with 512K and two disk drives. This is a nice and easy step by
step, day by day learners manual.

Nick, I mistakenly said "Start OS-9" in a private e-mail to you, and
mentioned it was in the list archives. So I got the name wrong, and I
couldn't find it in the archives. Used to be there, but no more. I don't
have the disk that went with the book. If anyone has it they can upload a
copy to the site above and to the list archives.
