I still have not had the time to learn how to even boot OS-9.
Posts here indicate that at this point in the game, it would be better
to use NitrOS-9 instead of some kind of vintage OS-9 L2 disks.
I have the "Complete Rainbow Guide to OS-9 Level II" sitting here and I
have an idea of stepping through the books nice and slow and perhaps
learning something.
That being said: I am confused by how/where to get "standard" or
"un-customized" disk images. Also, I find there are 40 track disks, but
I do not have a 40-track capable system.
So: Assuming I have the rainbow guide in my hand, a 512K coco 3 with a
single 35 track drive, and a free hour on the weekend, how should I
proceed? Does someone keep "reference" .DSK image(s) for OS-9? If so,
and again assuming they are 35 track, I could take .DSK files, and get
them restored onto real floppies via HDB-DOS and drivewire with little
trouble. I guess I just don't know which .DSK image to start with...
Thanks
