NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2 V03.02.05: - rb1773 now properly saves/restores system's NMI vector, also updated to go into .89Mhz mode when formatting to get around a problem with some CoCo 3's crashing during format. - An issue with formatting 3.5" 720K disks has been resolved. NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2 V03.02.04: - Fixed several problems/mistakes in the V03.02.03 release. NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2 V03.02.03: - format has been enhanced to show more information about the disk being formatted. - dirm has been removed from the commands list. - exmode has been renamed to xmode and replaces the original xmode command. - tmode now uses the new xmode format for parameters. - disasm has a new -s option which is used to specify the start and end addresses to disassemble within a module. - An RBF bug that was introduced in V03.02.02 has been fixed. - Bugs in the clock2_jvemu and clock2_smart modules have been fixed. NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2 V03.02.02: - Two new clocks have been added for Jeff Vavasour's CoCo emulator and MESS: clock2_jvemu and clock2_messemu, respectively. - kernel, kernelp2, kernelp3_perr and kernelp4_regdump have been renamed to krn, krnp2, krnp3_perr and krnp4_regdump respectively. - cc3disk has been renamed to rb1773 and has been back-ported to NitrOS-9 Level 1.

NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2 V03.02.01 (May 14, 2004): - Bugs in the mpi and megaread utilities have been fixed.

OS-9 Level Two V03.01.04: - rel has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 Level Two, adding 40 and 80 column boot screen options. - asm is now at edition 8 and includes the following fixes/additions: o Symbols now allow underscores. o The "parens error" bug has been fixed. o Added support for case-sensitive symbols with the U option flag. o Improved 4-digit year fix for date/time string. o Automatic conversion of tabs to spaces on input. - A bug accidentally introduced into os9gen related to boot track on double-sided disks has been fixed. - The directory structure of the Modules disk has been modified. All modules and related files are now under the LEVEL2 directory. - There are now two versions of cc3go: cc3go_h0 which performs chd/chx to /H0 on startup, and cc3go_dd which performs chd/chx to /DD on startup. - The MD descriptor has been added to the LEVEL2/MODULES/RBF directory. - A compatibility issue with os9gen's -t option and OS-9 Level One has been resolved. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.03: - The asm program now supports 6309 bitfield instructions. - The prompt command has been added to the standard command set. - os9gen now supports the -t= option which allows one to specify an alternate boot track file. - Two new directories have been added: BOOTLISTS and BOOTSCRIPTS. The former contains bootlist files for building boot disks, while the latter contains scripts to build boot disks. - There are now two booters for booting from a WD1773 based floppy controller: boot_1773_6ms and boot_1773_30ms for 6 and 30 millisecond step rates. - The M1 device descriptor now references the SACIA driver. - The help utility has been enhanced to show help subjects if forked without any command line parameters. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.02: - A bug in the help utility has been fixed. - Drivers and descriptors for Tandy's Hard Disk Interface have been added to the MODULES directory. - The MODULES directory structure has been enhanced to include multiple subdirectories for better module organization. - Booter modules for Burke & Burke, Disto RAMPak, Eliminator and IDE-LBA have been added. - The BOOTLISTS/ directory has been added on the Modules disk, and contains bootlist files for various configurations. - The cputype command has been optimized for size. - Slight performance modifications were made to RBF and SCF. - More commands have been added to the merged utilpak1 file. - Minor help file updates have been made. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.01: - SYS/helpmsg expanded to include new commands. - ident now correctly reports modules with a language byte of Obj6309. - rbf.mn has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 in order to unify the code base and bring non-6309 specific features to OS-9 Level Two. - A bug in IOMan which affected any driver wanting to access the port address of its hardware via its path descriptor has been fixed. - The montype command had a bug-fix and now shows the current monitor type if no parameters are given. Also, the montype.hp file has been updated. - The LogBook file in the SYS directory has been removed. - A bug in the cputype command that caused crashing on a 6809 system has been fixed. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.00: - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo - Many commands have been updated and optimized: o For size reasons, command help information is no longer embedded in the utilites, but is instead available through the helpmsg file in /DD/SYS o date, dir, mdir, procs and verify now require a dash (-) before options o format now has a cluster option and now shows the correct number of good sectors on large sector devices o Numerous commands have been optimized for size o cmp, error, help and touch have been rewritten in assembly for size o copy has been enhanced to include OS-9/68K-like features - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. OS-9 Level Two V02.01.00 Beta2: - Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted as a comment. - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. - ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes. - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed.
