[Coco] NitrOS-9 Level3 problems

[Bill Pierce]

Robert, this has actually been discussed to death here and in private emails...
The problem is the splitting of the modules. Ever since the modules were split into main and sub modules (i.e. rbsuper/llide, clock/clock2, etc, etc), Level 3 has ceased to work.
The Level 3 RBF/SCF cores don't know how to deal with the split modules and no one knows where they should go.
Also, cases like DriveWire... DriveWire is both RBF and SCF, and therefore could be in either workspace. The problem is, it needs access to both workspaces (RBF and SCF) and in Level 3, this can't happen.
To get Level 3 back working again, either the split modules would have to be made as one, or the Level 3 system be taught how to deal with them. Bill Noble was working on this at one time, but I think he got hijacked to work on stuff for Roger's "Matchbox Coco" and Curtis's "Ease Of Use" project.

Subject: [Coco] NitrOS-9 Level3 problems

In case there are some developer/programmers on the list that don't get/read reports from Sourceforge, there are major problems with the Level3 portion of the project.Level3 either will not finish booting or when it does with certain system & memory combos, it either freezes on the copyright screen or crashes.Several years ago there were some boot files and boot disks that actually booted. Any ideas about what has happened?Robert-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
