When I bought my copy of the CoCo version of Rogue, imagine my surprise whne I typed in "DOS" and it came up OS9 LEVEL II!!!!!! This is the first CoCo III software that Tandy has released, or maybe I just got a copy that "slipped" out of the warehouse. More info as I test my level one programs and try verious other stuff. I do know that display and dir are builtin to the os9 L2 boot file. "You See! You See! You Earth people are stupid!

>When I bought my copy of the CoCo version of Rogue, imagine my >surprise whne I typed in "DOS" and it came up OS9 LEVEL II!!!!!! Becareful, here... We've gotten a copy of Rogue, too, and it DOES have Level II. HOWEVER, this is NOT the exact same Level II that will be released by Tandy as the Level II package. Memory specs, etc., are different, and not all of the package is included in Rogue. In addition, to REALLY run Level II (or even Rogue, for that matter), you'll need 512K. There just isn't enough memory left to do beans with 128K and Level II, but under 512K, the package is incredible. Does anyone have a 512K board that they would recommend? I was looking into Speech System's one.

Re 512K boards--I bought the CRC 512K board for my CoCo III (assembled, since I'm highly fumble-fingered), and it went right in and worked like the proverbial charm. It's $129 assembled. I don't work for them or get money from them or anything--honest! :-) James Jones
