Dear Sysop:
|
|
|
|
Where can I get some introductory documentation on OS-9. For my general
|
|
understanding. I am a EE with quite a bit of exposure to software and so am
|
|
looking for more than 'What is an OS' type of documentation.
|
|
|
|
Thanks.

Krish,

Welcome to the forum!
|
|
|
|
We have a couple of files in our libraries that might shed some light on your
|
|
quest for knowledge. Take a look at INTRO.TXT in LIB 2 as well as OS9FAQ.TXT in
|
|
LIB 1 for starters.
|
|
|
|
Let us know how we can help

Sb: #Two drivers?
|
|
Fm: Ian Hodgson 72177,1762

To: All
|
|
|
|
Is it possible to have two disk drivers (eg. cc3disk and Sdisk3) in a boot file
|
|
and refer to the appropriate one with suitable device descriptors? I mention
|
|
this because I do a fair amount of transferring to and from MSDOS diskettes
|
|
using PCDOS, and this requires Sdisk3. However, Sdisk3 does not support the
|
|
no-halt operation of my Disto Super Controller II. The result is that I have to
|
|
do a lot of rebooting, saving to floppy (no hard drive), etc.
|
|
|
|
If I could have both drivers in memory it would make things much easier; all I
|
|
would need is another descriptor, say d3 (or B:, heh heh), to access IBM
|
|
diskettes. I suppose I'm being lazy and could simply try it, but I don't want
|
|
to go to the trouble of making a new boot file if someone already knows that it
|
|
won't work. But, to tell the truth, I don't see why it shouldn't.

The only problem you may encounter is that if both drivers perform some
|
|
initialization that causes the other to be displaced... Say WD1793
|
|
manipulation, interrupt hooking, etc.
|
|
|
|
Best bet is probably just trying it (on non-essential disks!)...

Guess you're right. I'll be safe and make up a new system diskette for the
|
|
trials. If it works I'll let you know.

Since drivers, desc., the kernal, etc. all have to reside in one MMU block, you
|
|
may find that your system map getting full. One sign of this is the inability
|
|
to format a disk...the track buffer for format also comes from the same 64K
|
|
block.

I have decided to sell my CoCo 3, B&B Hard drive, Disto Supercontroller, etc.
|
|
I have posted the file 4SALE2.TXT in Forum 14 (Classifieds) that lists the
|
|
items and my initial asking prices.
|
|
|
|
I hope we can do business.
