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.

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.
