[Coco] Michael Kline: Let me introduce myself...

Hi Bruce, 
Native Mode is what they are calling it when the CPU is running as a 6309, instead of emulating the 6809. I don't known that much about it yet. 
Obviously, I'm curious about how to take advantage of it's potentiality. 
I've never run NitrOS9. I only got to OS9 Level II. In in the day. 😊 I do see your point in that the 6309's true capabilities, arise when it receives the instruction set.

only instructions.  I don't recall that NitrOS9 for the CoCo 2 used 
those improvements much if at all.  NitrOS9 for the CoCo 3 has a 
separate version for the 6309 that uses the extra capabilities well. 
There is little Disk Basic (RS-DOS) programing that uses the 6309's 
improvements.
