[Coco] Re: Not quite "OS-9 for Dummies", but...

[farna at att.net]

Contact Tony Podraza. I gave the Glenside CoCo Club rights to print the "OS-9 Quick Reference Guide" I wrote years ago. I'm not sure he has an electronic copy that can be printed or e-mailed -- the format I sent him is the native PageMaker files, though I sent hard copy masters as well. I may have to send him a copy of PageMaker!! They also have my history book, "Tandy's Little Wonder", which has repair info and schematics for all US CoCo models as well.
