[Coco] Assembler question

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

You have to go to "news.gmane.org" and read the CoCo messages on
"gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco" to see the difference.

Many of us delete the messages received by e-mail and use
"gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco" to go back to reread messages we have
deleted or search for posts made long ago.

I just searched B.L.CoCo for the instructions for gmane, I found the post
searching for my own posts.

The basic problem is that your subject did not appear when messages in
threads were collapsed to just one post, the starting one. It just happens
that you used one I started.

And your chain in the posts was hijacked by someone else!

The problem varies with e-mail / newsgroup readers used so YMMV.

--------------------------------------------------- 

Hopefully someone can help you with OS-9 Level-I on the CoCo2, it might be
wise to keep reminding people of that, my mind was clearly with NitrOS-9
Level-II on the CoCo3.

But I do have the manuals, but really no memory of ever trying to do
graphics in assembly.

RTSI might have something to help you but with a quick glance nothing popped
up.

Https://sites.google.com/a/aaronwolfe.com/cococoding/home/docs

Has some books that might be for Level-I.

Http://www.os9projects.com/

Has many magazines that might have Level-I examples and might be your best
source.
