Thanks for your comments. I might keep the third floppy as a spare.
|
|
I don't have a hard drive because I never found any information on how to hook
|
|
one up - no construction articles. Nowadays, when you can buy an IBM single
|
|
board with 2 EIDE ports, a high speed floppy port, 2 enhanced serial ports, a
|
|
parallel printer port and a game port for $28, it is tempting to try to figure
|
|
out how to interface one to a Coco, since presumably it's within the bounds of
|
|
possibility to write drivers for it. I'll have to think about it.

It is pretty easy if you have the interface. BTW, Farna Systems now sells the
|
|
Ken-Ton SCSI HD interface for a ready-made setup. I think you can get it as a
|
|
kit or complete system. If you don't have the address, it is:

I guess it would have to be 8-bit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, just
|
|
quite a bit of programming to do. For one thing, you could then have all
|
|
devices on one bus and not have to worry about multipak switching. It really
|
|
sounds neat.

The only places I know of where to get literature about OS-9 is either an OS-9

To: anybody
|
|
|

Yes thats right someone is still using FLEX on a 6809 on a daily basis !
|
|
I'm using FLEX and PL9 on a daily basis for writting control systems. I want to
|
|
up grade to a better system but dont want to have to rewrite all my source code
|
|
, is there any way that PL9 can be converted to any other language (C of
|
|
preferance) and also what compliers cross compilers and OS would be best. I'm
|
|
currently using a 486 running Win95 ( well its better than 3.1 !) and money is
|
|
tight !
|
|
I'm asking here because I believe FLEX was in some respects a fore-runner of
|
|
OS/9 is this true ?
|
|
|
|
Thanks for any help. James

Oh wow, a blast from the past.
|
|
|
|
I had the 6800 version of FLEX that I ran on an SWTPC 6800 for 10 years, until
|
|
I got a Peripheral Technology PT68K-2 (from the Radio Electronics articles in
|
|
1987-88) and SK*DOS, then OS-9/68000. Alas, this summer the PT was destroyed
|
|
by a lightning strike that also destroyed my modem, so now I have a Linux box
|
|
and a new modem running.
|
|
|
|
I know there is source for a 6809 C compiler available from the C Users' Group,
|
|
but that is a slender reed to lean one's livelihood on. Was PL9 a Motorola
|
|
product? What sort of cross tools are available from Motorola?
|
|
|
|
FLEX09 doesn't have much in common with OS-9 except that both run on a 6809
|
|
microprocessor. The only connection that Microware ever had with FLEX was that
|
|
for a short period, before OS-9 came out, they offered some programs that ran
|
|
on the FLEX operating system. Technical Systems Consultants did offer an
|
|
operating system for both the 6809 and 68000 called UNIFLEX that was supposed
|
|
to be similar to Unix and therefore would have been multi-tasking and
|
|
multi-user like OS-9. The 6809 version of OS-9 is no longer marketed or
|
|
supported by Microware.

Hi,

Don't know if this will, help, but library 12 has a file called FFTI2.A, which
|
|
is 68K asm callable from C to do a Fourier analysis (FFT).
|
|
|
|
I've used it before to do spectral analysis of voice input on my OSK box.

Rogelio,
|
|
|
|
Just my 2 cents worth. I can heartily recommend VED if you have never seen it.
|
|
It has a multitude of useful features. I have only scratched the surface of
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
FWIW.. I had (have) VED for the CoCo, I have not upgraded it from the version
|
|
I originally had, but now have 2.4.0 for OSK. Since starting using the OSK
|
|
version, I have discovered many features that my older coco version had all
|
|
along but my non-reading of the manuals had not uncovered.
|
|
|
|
If you do any text printing, the companion text formatter, VPRINT is also
|
|
pretty much full-featured. You can do some pretty fancy output with a little
|
|
time in setting it up.

Carl No, our business isn't backups. We do require a five floppy disk

|

You got me thinking though. Do you suppose a person could make a living as an

itinerant backup artist, going from door to door offering to back up hard

disks? How about doing it over the phone line. Would anyone pay the telephone

Carl I don't know what we call our product. We do what MCI-mail and CIS-email

|
I am not familiar with MIPS numbers. What's the MIPS of my uq20 at 12 (or 16)
|

MHz? Are the 16 byte FIFO serial ports the 68681 DUART, or do these boards
|
|
have 4 ports total?
|
|
|
|
I don't know anything about PC's. What kind of serial port boards are

available for the AT bus? Are they DMA type devices? Are there any that use

Motorola chips. All I know about Intel chips is that they always install them

upside down, so the low order byte comes before the high order byte.

Is a TBA anything I ought to know about? I guess it's where you connect the
