I have an RS CoCo3 with a copy of OS9 (given to me years ago when I got the machine to do word processing). Now that I actively work in computer communications, I want to start playing with OS9 a little bit, and perhaps use the CoCo3 to dial into work. In a way, I'm looking for a mentor who has gone through this before.... System specifics: RS CoCo3 with 128K, RS single disk drive, OS9 (hopefully complete - if this experiment looks like it'll pan out, I'll invest in a licenced version). Need to know: who makes hard rives, how much, what else is needed to hook a harddrive to a CoCo3? Does CoCo3/OS9 support SCSI? If I get a MicroCom 2400 or 9600 Baud modem, what other software/hardware do I need? Can I get TCP/IP (or at least SLIP, PPP, or Kermit) for OS9? (If I can SLIP or Kermit in to work, I'll be able to telnet to my Sun from our terminal servers). Finally, are there any OS9/CoCo support groups in the Ottawa area? Thanks, please reply by e-mail. -- Peter Whittaker [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] Open Systems Integration pww@bnr.ca [ ] Bell Northern Research Ph: +1 613 765 2064 [ ] P.O.

When I have a bit more time, I will summarize, post, and thank personally. At the very least, I now have more than enough info to go on to begin opening my CoCo up to the outside world (wow - OpenCoCo! Almost as impressive as OpenMVS - or OpenAnythingFromBigBlue :->!). -- Peter Whittaker [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] Open Systems Integration pww@bnr.ca [ ] Bell Northern Research Ph: +1 613 765 2064 [ ] P.O.
