[Coco] Program to manipulate .DSK images

[Bill Pierce]

Even easier now is to use DriveWire4... Use:
shell i=/z1&
And that opens a window on your PC with 80 column access to the Coco.
Of course this is in NitrOS9 using drivewire4

OS-9 was as easy as forking a new shell with I/O redirected to the serial 
device:

OS9: shell <>>>/t1 &

There was “tsmon” which was a time sharing monitor program that would monitor a 
device for ENTER and then fork “login” and give a shell prompt, too, if I am 
recalling the proper version of OS-9 correctly.

Third party replacements were much fancier. OS9 L2 BBS was the first one I used, 
then later, StG Net which was VERY internet like — message areas being things 
like COMP/OS/OS9 and such, and users were username at system. It was very cool.
