1 **** OS-9 Level One VR 02.01.00 Release Notes ****
|
|
|
2
|
|
|
3 This release of OS-9 Level One for the Tandy Color Computer and
|
|
|
4 Dragon computers represents the first community-based release
|
|
|
5 since the discontinuation of both the CoCo and Dragon in the 1980s.
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 There were several reasons for releasing a new version of OS-9
|
|
|
8 Level One:
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
10 o It was long overdue (16 years)
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 o Year 2000 fixes were needed
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 o Bringing both CoCo and Dragon OS-9 to the same code base
|
|
254
|
15 was desirable
|
|
211
|
16
|
|
254
|
17 o This release served to test our methods for assembly and
|
|
211
|
18 packaging, which will come in handy as we continue to
|
|
254
|
19 work on future possible releases of this and other versions
|
|
|
20 of OS-9
|
|
211
|
21
|
|
|
22 One goal of this release was to consolidate commands and modules from
|
|
|
23 both the CoCo and Dragon versions of OS-9 into a single distribution
|
|
|
24 that would support both systems. The last CoCo version of OS-9
|
|
|
25 Level One was version 02.00.00, released in mid-1986. The last Dragon
|
|
|
26 version of OS-9 Level One was version 01.02.00, released ????.
|
|
|
27 The CoCo version of OS-9, being newer, was the basis for this upgrade,
|
|
|
28 and the Dragon distribution disk reflects the newer OS-9 modules from
|
|
|
29 the CoCo version.
