[Coco] more that one shell from an external terminal(update)

[Salvador Garcia]

Dave, this is my goal and hope to get on that project in 2016! I have been monitoring the Coco FPGA Yahoo group for a few years now and believe that there have been more advances in this year alone than in the past 2 or 3.


Bill, thanks for putting all of these disk mages in one neat package.


Salvador

And then after that all you need to do is upgrade to a DE1 that will run NitrOS9
at breakneck speed!

you to start with was I was assuming you were already using NitrOS9! You rarely
see someone still using old OS9 anymore.

posts, the speedup alone is worth it. There's no "new learning curve" as
everything still runs the same. Only the names of a few modules have been
changed (unimportant if you use ALL NitrOS9 system modules and don't mix and
match with the old ones). All the old cmds and programs still work the same.
