LEVEL ONE on CoCo2 Emulator
From: JES68K To: ALL
To all CoCo2 Emulator users:
Latest word from author of CoCo2 Emulator (via communication with Thomas
Kocourek):
Two bugs have been identified and fixed: one caused SHOCK Trouper to crash
and the other prevented LEVEL ONE OS9 from booting up. The new release
should be available soon and I hope to have it on the EMULATOR SIG (ACS BBS)
ASAP. So it IS possible, folks ….. I was wrong about thinking OS9 would
never run. AND am I glad to be wrong this time! So OS9 on a PC clone
system will not cost $350 if you were lucky or $999 if bought from Microware
(OS9000 cost that is) … OS9 Level one will be fairly cheap to implement!

At LONG last… I was really starting to think I was COMPLETELY insane.
I owe you a great debt of thanks, (or maybe a beer…).
Any idea why Triv Fever worked? It still strikes me as strange that a game
written in Basic09 would function, but a simple shell wouldn’t.
Are details available on what the fixes are?
I take it you’ve been in touch with the author…
Pass on our thanks and congratulations !
Well done.

The fix that affects OS9 operation was to a bug in the CWAI instruction. The
author said it over ran the stack frame.
