6 The former contains bootlist files for building boot disks, while | |
7 the latter contains scripts to build boot disks. | |
8 - There are now two booters for booting from a WD1773 based | |
9 floppy controller: boot_1773_6ms and boot_1773_30ms for | |
10 6 and 30 millisecond step rates. | |
11 - The M1 device descriptor now references the SACIA driver. | |
1196 | 12 - The help utility has been enhanced to show help subjects if |
13 forked without any command line parameters. | |

1112 | 32 - ident now correctly reports modules with a language byte of Obj6309. |
1152 | 33 - rbf.mn has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 in order to unify the code base |
34 and bring non-6309 specific features to OS-9 Level Two. | |

1152 | 36 address of its hardware via its path descriptor has been fixed. |

44 - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo |
998 | 45 - Many commands have been updated and optimized: |
46 o For size reasons, command help information is no longer embedded in the | |
47 utilites, but is instead available through the helpmsg file in /DD/SYS | |
48 o date, dir, mdir, procs and verify now require a dash (-) before options | |
49 o format now has a cluster option and now shows the correct number of | |
50 good sectors on large sector devices | |
51 o Numerous commands have been optimized for size | |
52 o cmp, error, help and touch have been rewritten in assembly for size | |
53 o copy has been enhanced to include OS-9/68K-like features | |
54 - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The | |
55 vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
56 The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
57 - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. | |
58 This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from | |
59 having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. | |
60 - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to | |
61 chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who | |
62 want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the | |
63 forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then | |
64 CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. | |
65 - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. | |
66 | |
1136 | 67 OS-9 Level Two V02.01.00 Beta2: |
485 | 68 - Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted |
69 as a comment. | |
739 | 70 - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, |
71 bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. | |
72 - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source | |
73 base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. | |
998 | 74 - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous |
75 release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. | |
592 | 76 - ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes. |
623 | 77 - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. |
739 | 78 - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. |
79 - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when | |
80 typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed. |
