[Coco] Rainbow on disk

[Stephen H. Fischer]

I am still waiting for permission to use some webspace.

I just posted yesterday that I hoped to have the Beta Version files up by Sunday.

I am in the process of making an Alpha version of the project available. I thought the webspace would be over my limit of 10 MB but maybe it will work. That may be shut down if the traffic is too large.

The files are in the Rainbow on Tape  and Rainbow on Disk files on http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/ where they have been for years. (Decades)

http://www.tandycoco.com/directory.shtml also has ROT ROD and an almost exact copy of the OS-9 sides you have with different names.

The dropkick files from the 2500 disk collection and your dropkick files is just about all there is.

There are perhaps 5 more that I dug out from some very hidden places.

I have not made the files available because most are on the Internet already. 

If you will e-mail the disks I just said were missing then they will be added.

If someone would have request information about a month or two I would have replied http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/  or http://www.tandycoco.com/directory.shtml in most cases. Or the 2500 dropbox. If one of the hidden files was requested I would have sent the months.

I just do not see much pressure from people wanting to actually to use the disks.

So the pressure is from people that have a dozen 10TB disks and are in the process of collecting all the CoCo stuff ever available. And they WANT IT NOW! SO THEY CAN START THE PROCESS OF NEVER LOOKING AT THE FILES.

OK, the next mass downloader can post their demand for everything NOW!!!!
