  I don't know what you mean by "Vanilla OS9" but I still use an 
upgraded OS9. It's basically stock with patches to eliminate some bugs 
when it was released.
  I'm good with it. It does as it was intended to do and is plenty fast 
for my intentions. Even NitrOS9 can't do what I wish it could do because 
the poor old 'puter is just too slow. Otherwise, it is really easy for 
me to write Basic09 programs to do what I need, when I need peeks and pokes.
  If there was a program that I could use on this Winderz box that would 
give me the power to do what I can do on the Coco3, I would start 
learning it. However, I'm already familiar with B09 and building the 
boards to peek and poke to are very easy for me. Those boards are not 
really something that the coco ever came with but at least, I have the 
knowledge to build them.
