I didn't use basic enough ( too clunky ) to note, but generally that pretty much stayed the same. Running os9 level one there was very little to limit what it could do, I wrote an edisk for a gvg300 3A/B video switcher that was 4 times faster than gvg's $20,000 kit. And later used much of that code for a signature analyzer for that extremely complex switcher to tell me which of the 24 digital paths thru it had a bad memory chip. All been retired now by the switch to digital video in 2008. Gene, How did you get into a CoCo, and bypass BASIC? I believe James Jones was another who had familiarity with OS-9, and got a CoCo specifically for OS-9. -- Allen Huffman - PO Box 7634 - Urbandale IA 50323 - 515-999-0227 (vmail/TXT only) http://www.subethasoftware.com - https://www.facebook.com/subethasoftware -- Coco mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
