[comp.sys.m6809] Plug -N- Power

smcgee%albion.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu (Scott Mcgee) (06/13/90)

I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me any information on
how I can program my Plug 'n Power TRS-80 Color Computer controller
with my Coco 3. I am interested in anything I can get from peeks and
pokes up to interactive programs and OS-9 drivers. 

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

      Would YOU mistake these opinions as anyone's but my own?

Thanks for reminding me, I was going to post this very
same request. I am especially interested in talking to my
Plug-N-Power from OS9 level 2 (Color Computer 2). 

However, I have a few extra questions:

a)	My "config/boot" diskette that came with my coco-os9 v2
		update seems to boot and test my disk, (i.e.,
		"DOS<CR>RUN "*"<CR>" works. But, I can't get it
		to boot up, all I can get it to is the "Boot os9/
		test disk drive" menu. Yet I need to config T2 to
		enable my second terminal, (i.e. I'm using /TERM,
		/T1 and would like to use /T2).

b)	Where can I get a cheap hard disk for this thing as well as
		the hard disk interface, and what will work with my
		os9 level 2 without my having to write a driver?

c)	Is there a COCO site on the net that I can get P.D. software
		from? Or a good second hand source? Also spare useful
		hardware "hack" information would be great. (Like adding
		a ram disk, or some such)...

			Thank you for your time, and please
			forgive the cross posting, most of this
			applies to the groups specified.


					Thanks again,
