[Coco] Does anyone have a Level3 disk that actually boots?

[Bob Devries]

Hi Bill,
it was a long time ago that I built my L3 OS9Boot file. I suspect that I 
probably used something like KwikGen to do it. It is capable of removing 
and inserting modules without taking apart the whole OS9Boot file.

They don’t boot on my VCC because of hardware config differences, but I have been disassembling them to be able to rebuild a working copy.  I have so far discovered that the main modules for Alan's mod for separate SCF/RBF pages is contained in OS9P1, Nitros9 and IOMAN modules.  I haven’t got to SCF/RBF for decoding, but the way I see at the moment they are stock Nitros9 from a earlier version.

I don’t want to give the link up to the list yet, as this is a expert level OS9 user thing and the code is not yet compilable, to meet Alan’s copy for the core kernel.  But if someone is interested PM me and I will let you into it, just don’t make it public, as I don’t want mass email with why it won’t compile, etc….
