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.

When it is done, - take out the disk and try booting your CoCo with it. - -Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional disk. -
