[Coco] FPGA Nitros9 Question

[John Orwen]

Aaron,
I am looking forward to what David has to recommend trying.  I did download 
the entire .zip nitos9project.

For information purposes.
I did try the 6809 L1 version and it did work as it should but I don't find 
it satisfactory to run on an FPGA because it can't utilize the features of 
the FPGA like L2 or L3 probably can.

I did also try nos96809l2v030209coco3_becker and it almost worked but not 
quite.  It may not like the latest version of drivewire I am using.
It loads the banner and sets the time and then freezes.
In drivewire window
DoOP_Read X: No disk in drive 2
unknown OPCODE :36
unknown OPCODE :113
unreadable path 'C:\Drivewire4_4.0.5_Multi

Then it freezes up

As Frank pointed out, you must use a 6809 disk and not a 6309 disk.

You can use the 6809 40 track disk image or the 6809 becker image.
You quite possibly are able to use the 6809 80 track image as well, I
remember Gary working on that but I forget the outcome.  So basically
almost any disk except the ones you've tried so far :)  All of these
disks should be found right next to wherever you found the _dw and
6309 images.

There may be issues with the nightly disks, so I'd recommend to use
the ones that David Ladd has checked out.  I am not entirely sure of
the details on that situation.  I'll try to get with David later on
and see if we can sort out the nightly situation.
