[Coco] OS-9 Level 1

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

I am thinking that NitrOS-9 has not been tested properly!

For a 80 Track 2 Sided 5.25" floppy dns must equal 3 to be able to read 48
TPI 5.25" disks. (OS-9 Feature)

For a 80 Track 2 Sided 3.5" floppy dns should also 3 but most people use 1.

As my 5.25" and 3.5" drives can be swapped with a switch all my 80T 2S
floppies have dns = 3.

What I am seeing suggests that some more testing of NitrOS-9 is needed.

If some one is interested, please send me a message so I can return the two
dsk files that are operating incorrectly.

As time permits I will be testing using John's emulator to see if OS-9
handles the dsk properly.

It might also be "OS9" so that will be checked as there is a later version
and an earlier version.

or my main address.

These floppies are quite full.
