[net.micro.6809] Radio Shack CoCo OS-9 Level I, Version 2.00.00

jimomura@lsuc.UUCP (Jim Omura) (11/12/85)

     The Shack has announced on CIS that there will be a new version of
OS-9 available next month.  There was a fair bit of information, but I
don't have it with me right now.  The most significant points for me
were:

1.  Fully reconfigurable RS-232 (t2) real-time (baud rates, parity etc.)
2.  Partly reconfigurable t1
3.  Separation of CCIO functions
3.  80 column card descriptor/driver (means the Shack's bringing out a card!)
4.  hard disk descriptor/driver (means ... !)
5.  Memory de-allocation has been cleaned up.
6.  'help' command.
7.  Many functions now reconfigure output to match screen parameters (eg. 'dir')

     $25.00 US. for 2 new disks as upgrade package.
 
     All the new OS-9's sold thereafter will be 2.00.00

     There was more info too.  Many newer software packages will need this
version to run.

                                                  Cheers! -- Jim O.
