[Coco] (Mega2) Was: new question/survey

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

I do not know which emulator you are using but there is a problem with OS-9 
L-II with any memory size greater than 512 in both real CoCo's and emulators 
that I told Jeff about and that he addressed.

Part of the fix was to run a small program called "Mega2" which Tony was the 
author and supplied it with his 2 Meg hardware kit.

This program made some memory blocks busy so that they could not be assigned 
to graphics memory.

I have not heard if NitrOS-9 built this in or if it has been addressed by 
any of the other emulators.

This cannot be fixed in any real CoCo so except for automatically making 
these memory blocks busy, nothing can be done.

SHF

P.S. 1928K = 1.928 Meg, so I think your guess is bad.
