Hey Aaron, totally OT, but do you have a os9def of the Level 3 code you built? I am currently dissecting a build from Bob Devries that I received and I notice from my disasm there is a different layout to System direct page, and a few extra system calls. If you have it would help stabilize in time if I knew what I am looking at.
