[Coco] Question about Hard Drive Image for NitrOS9...

[Steve Batson]

Thanks Stephen....I suspected that was the case, but wanted to make sure. 
I'm not currently looking for any particular type of software, just want to 
see some stuff running in it other than OS9 commands. :)
I supposed down the road if time permits, I may want to tinker with some of 
the programming languages, but I'll probably start with Basic09 since it's 
already there.

Very little if any at all. It is just like purchasing OS-9 from Tandy, all 

you get is the OS.

You can mount OS-9 floppy images to add the software you wish, I added the 

"C" Compiler and my own utilities from 20 years ago.

(Hourly, or each Minute?).

Should you see a filename that you like, download it and be disappointed if 

what is in the file does not match what you are looking for.

Way back in the Delphi and CIS time, files had long and short 
descriptions.

Now there are thousands of sites with millions of files with filenames 
only.

RTSI is the first and biggest example. Solving this problem seems to be my 

idea only.

ftp://www.rtsi.com/RSDOS/incoming/

You can look at ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/ but most of the Tandy OS-9 

software is in RSDOS/incoming.

So, download your desired floppy image, mount it in the Cartridge menu and 

transfer the files to the VHD.

Now if you tell us what type of software you are looking for, you will get 
a 
more useful answer.
