[Coco] OS-9 Floppy / Printer configuration?

[Bob Devries]

Chad,
Your bootfile created with OS9Gen appears to have included the drivers SCBBT and SCBBP, but no descriptors for those (T1 and P). Also, I believe that OS9 L1 must have SHELL in the boot file.

You probably don't need SCBBT and T1; you should have D1 and DD (not sure about DD).

  Ok, I've backed up a little bit.  My current thinking tells me the easiest
  way to get a slimmed down "OS-9" that works well with Double-sided drives is
  going to be to take the NitrOS9 and strip out the bootstrap modules I don't
  need.  I've been toying around with saving the original bootstrap modules
  and then using OS9Gen to rebuild the bootstrap leaving out some of the
  modules.  So far, I've only gotten a NitrOS9 copyright screen but it goes no
  further.

  Here was the last list of original bootstrap modules...

  REL KRN KRNP2
  INIT BOOT IOMAN
  RBF RB1773 D0
  D1 D2 DD
  SCF VTIO COVDG
  TERM SCBBP P
  SCBBT T1 PIPEMAN
  PIPER PIPE CLOCK
  CLOCK2 SYSGO SHELL



  Latest OS9Gen I used included...
  RB1773
  D0
  VTIO
  TERM
  IOMAN
  RBF
  SCF
  SYSGO
  CLOCK
  CLOCK2
  SCBBT
  SCBBP
  COVDG

  This resulted in bootup to NitrOS9 logo...went no further

  Which modules are a must to include for proper bootup?!

  Thanks.

  - Chad
