[Coco] OS9 Lvl 1 rev 2.00.00 - double sided floppy configuration

[Chad Hendon]

Not familiar with that software.  Will it let me make a double sided OS9 boot disk?

Hi Chad,

the package you need is a product from D.P. Johnson called SDISK+BOOTFIX. I do have the disk, but I can't image it right now. Hopefully I can do that Real Soon Now (Monitor issues on the PC that has my 5.25" drive and OmniFlop programme).

Hope that helps.
