Steve,
|
||
|
|
OS9-68k is available for the Atari ST but I do not have details on
|
||
|
|
where to get it. There is a local (San Diego) member of our OS9
|
||
|
|
Usergroup that runs it on his Atari ST and maybe he can help.
|
||
|
|
His name is Tom Birt. You can leave mail to him on this echo or call him
|
||
|
|
voice (619) 697-3161.
|
||
|
|
I am running OS9 lev II on a CoCo w/6309 CPU, this BBS, and also a
|
||
|
|
MM/1 that will soon be running this BBS. The version of OS9 on my MM/1 is
|
||
|
|
V2.4 and vastly faster and more robust than OS9 on the CoCo.

Collin let the gentleman on FIDO who sent me his MM/1 and accelerator for
|
||
|
|
repair that the accelerator module works OK. The problem is somewhere on
|
||
|
|
the MM/1 boards. I will let him know as soon as the problem is located.

I have a demo program that compiles basic OSK to a assem program.
|
||
|
|
The demo is limited to only 1-2 pages of source. Info is included on
|
||
|
|
ordering commercial versions with more capacity from $99 to $350 from
|
||
|
|
Frank Hogg Labs.
|
||
|
|
It is on my OSK-SYSTEMS download area with name 'CBDEMO.LZH'.

Anyone trying to send me Internet E-Mail to 'warren@ocnbeach.jd.com' will
|
||
|
|
find it to bounce. I just found out my gateway has crashed horribly, MS
|
||
|
|
dos running Unix, and he is out of town till April 7th.
|
||
|
|
So for the time being resend to me on this echo.
|
||
|
|
The RiBBS_OSK beta is now able to download/upload and work is going
|
||
|
|
forward on getting the Fido part setup.
|
||
|
|
Many thanks to John A. donaldson, Calvin Dodge, and William Chapple.

Steve,
|
||
|
|
OS9 and OS9-68K are realtime, multitasking, multiuser operating
|
||
|
|
systems that are used in a great deal of realtime control applications
|
||
|
|
because they are preemptive multitasking realtime capable.
|
||
|
|
They also provide those platforms with 68xx or 68xxx CPU's a very
|
||
|
|
capable personal desktop operating system as used with the CoCo III and
|
||
|
|
MM/1. Industial users use VME bus system platforms and a few others.
|
||
|
|
It is used by NASA on the space shuttle program, US Postal offices
|
||
|
|
on there systems that weigh, price and issue stamps for mail and
|
||
|
|
packages.
|
||
|
|
Even the old CoCo III with OS9 Lev II I have a BBS running in one
|
||
|
|
window, edit files in another window, use a term program in another
|
||
|
|
window and all can work at same time. It may be described as a mini Unix
|
||
|
|
system with many of the cmds that have been ported over. For both
|
||
|
|
platforms there is term, database, word processor, and graphic shareware,
|
||
|
|
freeware programs availble. If you saw a demo of OS9 on an Atari with
|
||
|
|
the text windowing software 'Kwindows' you would be amazed at the
|
||
|
|
computing power you have even with only 1.5 - 2 meg memory.
|
||
|
|
Again if you want first hand info call Tom Birt evenings at
|
||
|
|
(619)697-3161.

John,
|
||
|
|
Well my first attempt at uploading bombed. The upload window comes
|
||
|
|
up but it crashes and locks up RiBBS in the overlay window while
|
||
|
|
disconnecting the caller. Must be some differance in cmds between what I
|
||
|
|
have and what Calvin has. I put files up in private downloads on my
|
||
|
|
idents and dir-e's of my cmds for Calvin and you to get and compare.
|
||
|
|
I think it is setbaud since Calvin mentioned setbaud.r1.b and I have
|
||
|
|
setbaud.r3.b that I use. I put that in the private download section
|
||
|
|
also.
|
||
|
|
Without my UUCP host working I feel like I have lost my right arm!
|
||
|
|
Anyway it should be back in couple weeks.
|
||
|
