[Coco] CoCo SDC and others

[Kip Koon]

Hi Ron,
I definitely want to use YA-DOS for sure.  I would like to get this latest dos and test it on my Coco3fpga.  I bet we can get NitrOS-9 to boot with YA-DOS.  I still can't communicate with my Coco3FPGA using my Radio Shack/Gigaware USB to Serial cable.  Hey, I just had a wonderful idea.  I have a couple of USB to TTL RS-232 Serial cables and several TTL Serial to full RS-232 level modules that I could use with the USB to TTL Serial cable.  Yes, that just might work.  I'll let you know how this works out.

If you decide to use YA-DOS with the CoCo3FPGA, you will need to flash it to the same bank that you use for Brett's NitrOS9 SD loader.  That flash slot on the CoCo3FPGA is reserved for alternate DOS's and can accommodate 16K roms like YA-DOS.  I'm not sure how the NitrOS9 SD boot loader works, but perhaps we can see if Brett is able to incorporate that boot loader into YA-DOS for those using a CoCo3FPGA.

I would be happy to share my configuration with you.  I need to also see if Brett has made his latest version of YA-DOS available on his website.  I believe there are some minor differences in the version I'm using over the one you may currently have.

Thanks!

-Ron
