[Coco] Nitros9 level 1

[Chad H]

I doubt I have the current version of NitrOS9 >> 3.2.9

I ran into the memory issue when trying to make a double-sided boot disk for DeskMate under NitrOS9.  I made a MODULES list for the BUILD that gave me enough memory but apparently it was just marginal as sometimes it would work ok sometimes it would crash.

I ended making a patched copy of the original OS9 v2.0.0 to handle double-sided disks properly and built the DeskMate boot disk on that.   MFREE shows 162 pages free.  About the best I could do.

Sean, currently there are NO single sided disk images being produced for any level of NitrOS9. I personally have been complaining about this for years as it makes it impossible to backup an image up to a real RSDOS floppy without building a new bootdisk. That's the VERY item that has scared half the people away from OS9 since the beginning... building a new bootdisk.
As a note, even with just one floppy descriptor and most things stripped out (pipes, printer etc), the current build of NitrOS9 level 1 is too large to run many programs. You will receive many "Error 207 Out Of Memory" while trying to run many things. If the DW4 drivers are left in, it gets much worse.

Hi, is there a Nitros-9 level one available for a coco1, with only a stock single-sided fd501 floppy drive?  All I've seen in 360k versions. 
P.s. I also have a Coco3 with multipak, sdc, and drivewire.  

Thanks,  Sean R.
