Excuse me jumping in here. Although your question is directed at Frank (and
|
||
|
|
he is better qualified than I to answer it) I'm not sure how often he checks
|
||
|
|
the forum messages here, so I will give you some info until you get a better
|
||
|
|
answer.

OS-9 is VERY much different from OS/2, it is similar to UNIX, and is sold by
|
||
|
|
Microware. Originally it ran on the Motorola 6809 CPU, but now OS-9/68000 runs
|
||
|
|
on the 68xxx family and another version, called OS-9000, runs on the 80x86
|
||
|
|
chips too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is a multitasking, multiuser system - one comment I saw somewhere was "OS-9
|
||
|
|
is what OS/2 wants to be when it grows up".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is called a "real-time" operating system, and is very much in use for
|
||
|
|
industrial controls. ((I will leave a more exact definition of "real-time" to
|
||
|
|
those who understand it better)).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ONLY disadvantage of OS-9 that I can think of is that you can not buy
|
||
|
|
software for it at your local "Computers-R-Us". Commercial software tends to
|
||
|
|
be a little more expensive than that for the more popular platforms. The good
|
||
|
|
news is that UNIX stuff ports easily (most of the time) and a lot of good
|
||
|
|
applications can be found here (and on other services).

Hey, if you want to do graphics with OS9: there is "Gwindows", from the swiss
|
||
|
|
company Gespaq (try to call their support hotline), and of course there's the
|
||
|
|
good old Xwindows (very expensive)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BTW: Yes, Windows crashes - so does OS9. They all crash.

Sorry, I would much rather sell the unit as a whole. Main reason is I want it
|

|
|
to remain usable until I sell the MM1. My greatest fear is that I won't be

Hi All!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is with a heavy heart that I must post this following message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For all intents and purposes, I have "gotten out of" OS-9.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I still have my MM/1 and fire it up occasionally, but only to cruise the OS-9
|
||
|
|
forums with InfoeXpress. I am not doing any OS-9 program development. I can't
|
||
|
|
remember the last time I fired up on of my CoCos.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At any rate, I will cease reading all OS-9 forums as of this weekend. If you
|
||
|
|
wish to contact me, I have an Internet account from my "new" PC. My general
|
||
|
|
EMail address is "joecool@vnet.net".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Primarily for the benefit of CoCoers/OS9ers who attended last fall's 'Fest in
|
||
|
|
Atlanta (or for anyone else who reads this and is also interested), I have
|
||
|
|
digitized several fest type photos which Allen Huffman was so kind to release
|
||
|
|
into the public domain. I have these on my PC available through the Internet
|
||
|
|
via Anonymous FTP. When you login, just cd to the gfx/atlfest.94 directory and
|
||
|
|
GET the ones you would like. I especially liked ALLEN.GIF and L2UG.GIF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am not set up to be a continual Internet site, but I will try to leave the
|
||
|
|
link up for most of the weekend to accomodate any requests for these pixs. Feel
|
||
|
|
free to browse the other gfx directory there as well, if you have a JPEG
|
||
|
|
viewer. The JPEG files in the other directory are all original scans by yours
|
||
|
|
truely.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As for the availability of my line of OS-9 software products, for the CoCo3 and
|
||
|
|
the MM/1, they will now be available from Bill Wittman. He has purchased
|
||
|
|
ownership of them and will work to improve/add to the MM/1 based products.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the many years of warm friendship in the OS-9 community, I thank you all
|
||
|
|
from the bottom of my heart. I wish for each and everyone of you a long life of
|
||
|
|
happiness and prosperity.

Whoops!! I forgot to publish the anonymous ftp server info!! (Thanks, Newton!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using ftp client software login to remote host "arrakis.vnet.net". Log into the
|
||
|
|
username "anonymous". The server software I use, Chameleon V4.5 from Netmanage,
|
||
|
|
requires a password for the anonymous account in the format of an Internet
|
||
|
|
address. It does not have to be your real internet address, although I would
|
||
|
|
prefer that it was. It does have to be in the format of an internet address,
|
||
|
|
though, ie, "username@system.domain".

Nuts! Another "old timer" gone. We will miss you Zack.
|

With the prices of all the new systems available, I can't blame anybody for
|

jumping into the "mainstream".
|
||
|
|
|

I have both the MM/1 and a fancy "486", but as anyone who has seen the

collection of computer stuff in my house will tell you, I am completely nuts.

I echo the sentiments of others; we will miss you. I may not SEEM active here
|
||
|
|
in the forum, but I have never missed reading all the messages at least once a
|
||
|
|
week, and your contributions, both in conversation and software, have been
|
||
|
|
valuable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry to see you go. I, too, have a 486 system, with A LOT of very nice
|
||
|
|
software, but I still have the CoCo 3 set up in a place of honor right beside
|
||
|
|
it and it gets turned on frequently. Indeed, there are some tasks that cannot
|
||
|
|
easily be duplicated on the PC, and others that I refuse to move over to the PC
|
||
|
|
so as not to leave the CoCo in retirement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do stop by and say hello from time to time; it costs almost nothing.

We'll miss you, buddy. You can always do like Kent does... just show up at the

|
'Fests for the fun of it <grin>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

A lot of us (well, not me yet :) have PCs, but it's still a gas making these
|
||
|
|
OS9 systems do neat stuff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've just ported K-Windows to the GMX 68040 system, for example. Even support
|
||
|
|
the Soundblaster card plugged into its EISA bus. This sucker screams. It's
|
||
|
|
almost twice as fast as the 68040 PEP systems at work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

Please stop back in once in a while, at least. And take care. See you in NC
|

sometime!

Hi Bob Long time no talk. I saw somewhere that you are comming up with
|
||
|
|
something new Ved . I would like to see more on that subject. In the mean time
|
||
|
|
is it possible to use MVEF to set the function keys to do the escape sequences
|
||
|
|
for printers? I would like to see how to set VED to work with a mouse or at
|
||
|
|
least to use the arrow keys. I down loaded the cal program and I find it very
|
||
|
|
nice and I am going to send in the form soon. I look forward to hearing from
|
||
|
|
you soon. PS Are there any OS9 mags out there? Tom Farrow 72701,543

Yes, a new version of Ved will be avail. RSN. It will be at the Chicago 'fest;
|
||
|
|
and I will be sending out update notices to registered users next week. This
|
||
|
|
will be version 2.4.0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes, you can use MVEF to set up ved for function keys. 1st, create a keyboard
|
||
|
|
table (from the keyboard definitions menu). Don't forget to save it! Then just
|
||
|
|
edit the command set and create a new env file. Shout if you have specific
|
||
|
|
problems...
|
||
|
|
|
||

Don't know about any remaining OS9 magazines, except for the user's group MOTD.
|
||

|
Anyone else?

Hello, I just want to spread the word a little! First, let me tell you about
|
||
|
|
our new book: "Historically Brewed: Our First Year". It's a 110 page trade
|
||
|
|
paperback containing dozens of the articles from "Historically Brewed" issues
|
||
|
|
#1 - #6. These first editions are hot off the press.
|
||
|
|
Second, "HB" is the magazine of computer history and is published by the
|
||
|
|
Historical Computer Society, an interesting and unique group with many
|
||
|
|
fascinating stories to tell. Basically, to join HCS is to subscribe to the
|
||
|
|
magazine. It is a small printed magazine (20 - 24 pgs), but filled with stories
|
||
|
|
of the people and machines which changed our world. Issue #8 contains: "DEC's
|
||
|
|
pdp-8 part II, the first line of small computers", "For The Collector", "Intro
|
||
|
|
to Classic Computing", "Home Arcade Enthusiast", classic computer cartoons,
|
||
|
|
lots o' letters, classifieds and more. It is sold in both of the computer
|
||
|
|
museums here in the U.S. We have over 300 readers with many overseas. To
|
||
|
|
purchase our book or to subscribe, please write me directly. Please also help
|
||
|
|
us spread the word! Hope to hear from you! Best, David Greelish, HCS

Hello there:
|

|
|

|

Amongst some sad news for the CoCo community (Zack's departure), I have
|
||
|
|
something that might be of interest. Last week I was browsing around the
|
||

"Discontinued Items" table at my local RS and amongst other stuff in there, I
|
||
|
|
found a 25-1033 SmartWatch for a mere $14.95, the latest catalog price I have
|
||
|
|
for that is $39.99, so at the sale price the SW is quite a bargain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The drivers for the SW can be found in the libraries here in this forum
|
||
|
|
(SMART.AR) and this file includes utilities to retrieve/set the time with the
|
||
|
|
SW chip installed in any of the 4 slots the MPI provides. I installed the SW
|
||
|
|
inside my FD-502 controller, and am using the drivers for SLOT 4 --- works
|
||
|
|
great!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I recommend you go to your local RS store and ask around, maybe they'll have it
|
||
|
|
for the sale price. Currently, the SW can be ordered thru National Parts, but I
|
||
|
|
think the asking price is the higher one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
....it is so much enjoyable to use OS9 now without fussing around with the
|
||
|
|
'setime' utility! ;-)

Sb: #20897-Install Intrpt Handler

Hi Taji!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have a lot of experience with the MVME162 board. Installing an interrupt
|
||
|
|
handler without using a device driver is not a problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following programs is an example of how to install a timer interrupt
|
||
|
|
service routine with C. Some assembler code is required, but I think newer
|
||
|
|
versions of the Ultra C compiler provide functions that you can use instead of
|
||
|
|
the Assembler code. The lastest compiler versions even allow using floating
|
||
|
|
point instructions inside an interrupt service routine. This was always a
|
||
|
|
problem with the old versions, as the 68040 has some unimplemented floating
|
||
|
|
point instructions, which were be handled by the trap handler (CSL). The old
|
||
|
|
trap handler was not 100% reentrant. The new compiler has a new trap handler.
|
||
|
|
It can also generate code for 68040 by emulating the unimplemented instructions
|
||
|
|
in software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need more help, send me an email. Maybe I can do some consulting for
|
||
|
|
you. I have developed code for several Greenspring IP-modules. I also wrote a
|
||
|
|
utility to use the onboard flash-memory, it allows you to store your
|
||
|
|
application as well as OS9 in the Flash and boot from flash-memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is the example code:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
|
|
#include <stdlib.h>
|
||
|

We are working with VG Machines to do the teletext in Spain. We need to write

the teletext on a PC and import that text into a VG Machine.
|

Please, help us!

The VG Machines are special computers used to write teletext (yo know it, the
|
||
|
|
text associated to TV signal). These machines use OS-9 and we need to know how
|
||
|
|
it works (th VG Machines) because we must do several projects about it.
