[Coco] Trivia Fever

[Bill Pierce]

Rogelio,
You gotta LOVE OS-9 :-)

I guess the real thing that keeps OS-9 just as exciting (to me) now as it was 25 years ago is that I can sit down and in a few hours, write a piece of software and watch it run. Not something I bought in Circiut City or something I downloaded for the net, but something "I" wrote.
Now with people pushing the boundries of the Coco with new hardware, it has inspired me to push the boundries of their hardware with my software... I'm just as enthused now as I was when I wote my first "Hello World" program in Color Basic in 1984 :-)

Both consolidate the dual disk distribution into a single one with the plus
of a faster stepping rate. I didn't even try running the stock game under
NitrOS9 L1, ahead suspect the differences with it and the L1v1 system to be
far and wide enough to guarantee a no go.

The way this thread progressed has been very interesting to follow up...
learning new things about this amazing OS every day, thanks guys for the
comments, suggestions and efforts to have hits sorted out - got the DSK
image from Robert, will try later on today.
