I'm one of those "over 60" guys. Since COVID I've been swamped with work
and don't do much computing other than bioinformatics and statistics. Still
have my old Coco3 modified with a 3.5" floppy and a hard drive with
keyboard adapter, But it hasn't been powered on for more than a decade.
I've tried the emulators but I can't seem to get a virtual OS-9 Level II
disk that functions, so not much from me. I still have the Quick Pascal API
that I developed many years ago but really haven't done anything to update
it.
