[Coco] Re: Nitros9 and the '86 GIME

[Charlie]

Nick, I seem to have a thing for finding something wrong with everything, 
and then crying about it. :-)

Your right. OS-9 works fine with the 86 GIME. I have trouble formatting and 
backing up floppy disks no matter what os I use. I'm going to blame that on 
my 512K upgrade until Mark can get some SIMMS in stock, and I can replace my 
memory........

This is good though. The Nitros9 guys will figure it out, and fix it. Then 
Nitros9 will be that much better.

BTW - I was playing your Pacman tribute last night. What a great game. Well 
done. Thanks!

Charlie
