[Coco] What ever Happened to NineServer ?

There is no "Nineserver" system as far as I know. That was a name used during early development for what was going to be what DriveWire4 became.
All you need is the latest version of DriveWire4, which is "4.3.3.o" or "4.3.3.p" (the last was just a bugfix for a non-working turbo mode). Or the "4.4.3.e" developer's edition, which is not publicly available except on my website (Aaron took his original link down).
Here's pics of VCC running DriveWire_Becker and opening a Z window. This works on VCC, XRoar, Mame, Coco3FPGA, and real Cocos.

Still not getting anyware I tried replacing CoGRF with CoWIN whichdoes solve some other unrelated problems I was having ( with the coco mouse ) but does not fix the nine server problem.Is it possible to have both CoGRF and CoWIN - When I tryed the system would not even boot.Oh do you have a working nine server system, if so if I could see the list of modules that makes up OS9Boot perhaps I could figure out what is missing ( or interfering ) in my system to prevent nineserver windows.ThanksOn 2018-06-05 10:42, Bill Pierce via Coco wrote:> The "Z" terminal windows have very little (if anything) to do with> inetd or httpd.
