[Coco] [Color Computer] What happend to http://www.nitros9.org/

Mark and Boisy,

I have NOT attempted to d/l NitrOS9 as of yet. Honestly, I have no actual use for it right now since the only CoCo that is even close to being set up is my repack (and that will not be fully set up until the SuperBoard hits the market). That said, it's been 12-18 months since I tried, but, there were several open source network analyzers I was wanting to try which were hosted on Sourceforge. At work we have a T1 and a 4MB Roadrunner connection and the best we could get was 1mb/sec for an hour then a timeout (usually a 500 series error). Needless to say I made other choices. 

There was another project, Mailwasher Server, that was a never end to headaches via Sourceforge until they stopped with the CVS only and also offered compiled applications. I can say I've browsed the NitrOS9 files and I have no issue with the server response time. However, I am not 'into' compiling code at this point and my programming skills are non-existent. I liked it better when there were dsk files available, but that's just my own personal preference. 

I will, however, look into it and see if I can d/l it later (after a reboot requested by TortoiseCVS). I'll get back to you at that point.

Brian

I saw Gene's post and went and thought I would try this out. Needed to  
get here anyway.

Boisy and I have a HUGE repository for C-9, well over a gig of shared  
information between us. I'm running w2k and XP with Tortise CVS.

I applied for an account on SourceForge. Sent my account info to Boisy

Setup CVS and downloaded BOTH repositiories error free in under 10 minutes.

Worked flawlessly........

Brian - What is not working or the problems you are having? Same as  
Gene? If so what CVS package / platform are you on?
