If you know what to look for, its all on my site in the Genes-os9-stf link.

Not really, system ram is the bottleneck.

Walter:  All 3 of the kits that goto making up a current, on your machine, 
(if you are running a linux) copy of whats in todays hg repositories is 
probably best obtained by first installing hg (mercurial) and using it to 
clone the source repositories.

I do this and then once drivewire is up and running, I can generate a new 
boot image using the correct .dsk image mounted in drivewire.  Until then, 
I had to start rz on the coco, and zmodem send the .dsk to the coco's hard 
drive.  Then I had 2 ways to use it. One involved cobbling up a way to 
write that .dsk to a real floppy, or take a spare descriptor and  cobble it 
up to pretend that the .dsk file was a real disk, and dsave it to a 
suitable place on the hard drive so I could run an mb script from there.  
Complex, a PIMA but that is exactly how I got the drivewire bits and pieces 
to the coco.  Once that is working, it is TON's easier.

But that isn't an easy job until DW is running on the coco.
How are you currently moving new code to the coco?  Thats the first 
question.

Cheers, Gene
