[Coco] Supercomm fails to load on NitrOS9 lvl 2 on my CoCo 3 with 128K, and a couple of other questions?

[Bill Pierce]

Tormod, I figured that was the case. Yes, I agree on changing the name of the area, it's kind of misleading. And I don't see how the L3 disk are useful at all. They will not boot so cannot be tested. Leaving them out of the downloads would be best or we'll continue to get questions on why they don't work. We seem to have a influx of users trying NitrOS9 (and os9) for the first time. I have helped out several new users in the past month.

shouldn't be in the repo... just that the non-working compiled disk images
should not be in the public downloads. That is for WORKING stuff, not broken
stuff. Personally, I'd love to see the L3 work and have worked on it myself (as
you know), but to put non-working stuff in the public downloads is confusing to
the user and they think it's supposed to work.

The L3 images are not in the
normal download area, only in the
development snapshots which are /not/
guaranteed to be working stuff.
Maybe it is not so useful to include them in the
development snapshots
either but it helps to have it regularly built after any
changes and
potentially for people helping out testing. If there is
any
development on it, that is... However it can be tuned to be built but
not
packaged into images.

What might be confusing is that the development snapshot
URL contains
"latest" which people might associate with releases. We may
change
that to something more fitting, like "snapshots" which is commonly
used
for such things.
