[Coco] wdir command?

[Christopher Fox]

Thanks, Bill. I’ve been toying with Nitros-9 on and off for the past year or so, and once I’m finished archiving all of my old floppy media, I’ll retire my floppy drives and switch to running my CoCo 3 with the CoCoSDC and Nitros-9. Looking forward to it! I’ve also been wanting to play with some 6809 assembly and GIME programming.

Right now, learning Nitros-9 in the packaged VCC emulator has been perfect.

Christopher

>Thanks, Bill. Can’t recall how I would’ve gotten ahold of it. Most of my time running OS-9 as my main OS would’ve been about 1987-1993 or thereabouts. I’ll need to double-check, but I think one of my disks that boots as OS-9 Lvl II also has the different tmode with the parameters as, e.g. “pau=1” rather than “pause”. An odd mix.

>>To tell you the truth Christopher, Kevin did write that utility.  It was part of the Level 2 upgrade that never came to be.  Curtis and I got that utility with our TC-9’s by accident.  The story I remember is Frank Hogg gave us a copy of Level 2 for the TC-9, at time of sale, that happened to contain portions of the upgrade by accident.  We didn’t discover this until we started disassembly of the TC-9 core vs the CC3.

Found this info referencing a “GEnie” archive, which seems to have been lost? It would’ve contained the Basic09 source for this command.
