[Coco] Re: Re: Kyum-Gai OS-9 version

[Charlie]

Sinistaar is one of the best COCO games EVER. I heard there was a cracked
disk1 out there some where that does away with the copy protection. That
would be a nice find.

I keep my floppy disks in the standard flip-top disk organizers and I've not
had any problem with them after all these years..... so far :)

Would it be possible to make a DSK of your Zenix disk?
