This is one of the original flight simulators that came
out for several 8 &
16-bit machines that IIRC the copyright was bought up by none other than
Micro$hark.
I forget if it was Flight Simulator I or FS II that I had for the Tandy
2000 when I still was using mine. I know that in it's 640x400 x 16 color mode
though it sure looked nice, especially compared to Flight Simulator on a
standard PC using CGA! Even EGA didn't look near as good, with it's odder
aspect ratio.

This is a GUI for OS-9... it was rather interesting
[and I've heard useful
with a hard drive], but *extremely* slow with floppies.
Yes, I've seen this running, and it even looks fairly nice in low-res mode.

Standard USCD P-code compiler... interesting thing is
you could compile
programs larger than 64K (max memory for a CoCo 1/2) out-of-box.
That's interesting...now if I could find a P-Card for my TI-99/4A, I could
write stuff on the CoCo and run it under P-System on both the 4A and on the
5155! There's some interesting cross-platform computing...
Uhhh, I might have one *for trade*. Presently, I have
two available working
Disto MC-1 [Mini-Controller 1] boards,
What types of things might you be looking for in trade?
I'll keep looking for a week or two for a DOS you
can use, and let you know
if you're interested.
Yes, I certainly would be interested...please let me know what you come up
with. Thanks.
