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

[Bill Nobel]

Hey Bob, I tried Kwikgen but it barfed on the fact that the boot files need the 2 _end modules, one after the SCF modules and one after RBF.  I'm gonna wait a bit till I get a compilable version that I can truly play with.  I think the boot files still has some hardware modules that don’t exist on VCC (i.e. clock and cc3go descriptors).  I know your boot has SCSII drivers already.

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….
