[Coco] Drivewire 4 & printing

[Stephen Pereira]

Oh, no!  I have been hesitating on getting into OS-9.  Too much adventure for me, along with all my other stuff going on.

Thanks very much for setting me straight on this.

By OS-9, does that mean the old Tandy OS-9 level 1, 2 or 3, or does it mean NitrOS-9, or both?

Thanks for the information!
