-Package: OS-9 Level Two VR 03.00.02 Beta2
-Release Date: January 5, 2003
-
-This release of OS-9 Level Two for the Tandy Color Computer 3
-represents the first community-based release since the discontinuation
-of both OS-9 Level Two.  This release actually takes up where the
-infamous "Level 2 Upgrade" left off, and incorporates most all of the
-known features of that never-officially-released version of OS-9.
-
-DISTRIBUTION
-============
-There are two double-sided 40 track DSK images ending in '_ds40_1.dsk',
-and '_ds40_3.dsk' for disks 1 and 2, respectively.
-
-USING THE DISK IMAGES
-=====================
-If you wish to transfer the disk images to a 5.25" or 3.5" floppy disk
-for use with a real CoCo, and have a Linux system equipped with such a
-disk drive unit, follow the steps below (root login is assumed):
-
-1. Download and install the latest version of fdutils from
-   http://fdutils.linux.lu/
-
-2. Once installed, edit the /usr/local/etc/mediaprm file and add the
-   following lines at the end of the file:
-
-     "COCO360":
-      DS DD sect=18 cyl=40 ssize=256 tpi=48 fm=0 gap=8
-
-     "COCO720":
-      DS DD sect=18 cyl=80 ssize=256 tpi=96 fm=0 gap=8
-
-3. Insert your blank floppy into the drive on your Linux box.
-
-4. Type the following command:
-
-             setfdprm /dev/fd1 coco360    (360K 5.25" floppy disk)
-                    OR
-             setfdprm /dev/fd1 coco720    (720K 3.5" floppy disk)
-
-   This assumes your floppy drive is /dev/fd1.  You may need to make
-   adjustments to the above commands for your environment.
-
-5. After typing the setfdprm command, the floppy drive unit should spin
-   for a second then stop. Type this command:
-
-             dd if=<diskimagefile> of=/dev/fd1
-
-   Where <diskimagefile> is the image file you want to transfer to the
-   floppy disk.  The image file transfer should start.  When it is done,
-   take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it.
-
-Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional disk.
