Subject: CoCo OS/9 was: TRS-80 floppy
So what does it take to get OS/9 running on a Radio Shack Color Computer?
Depends on which OS/9. In recent years it has had a chequered history. But basically a
boot disk.
I have a Color Computer 2 (? 64k and non-chicklet
keyboard)
That?s a bit limiting for OS/9. I think that limits you to OS/9 level 1.
and have always
wanted to get it working with a disk OS. What do I need? I see a reproduction
floppy disk controller on ebay. I would rather skip that and go straight to
some kind of sold state memory.
I would get a COCO SDC.

you get two drives from an SD card, and two from DriveWire a host program you run on a
PC.
Suggestions or pointer to active groups?
Very active mail list.
