[Coco] I need copies of unmodified OS-9 disk images

[Aaron Wolfe]

small clarification..

windows XP, regardless of "home" or "professional" flavors, is the
same operating system and can run the same software.  the differences
have to do with features included, not the core of the system or the
software that will run on them.  both XP home and XP pro are descended
from windows 2000.
