CoCo 3 NitrOS-9 Emulator VHD Install Disks

Image
OK, so I've been putting more work into getting emulators installed on my computer again, and I decided to take a quick little dip into OS-9 for the Tandy Color Computer 3. Or to be more precise, NitrOS-9 . There are some pre-made VHD files out there, but those are years old, and the installation files from Robert Gault are even older. (UPDATE: There are pre-built images with lots of extra stuff included available from NitrOS-9 Ease of Use .) So, I played around with the NitrOS-9 build files, and compiled some installation disks based on the latest sources. I've put a video guide on how to set up your own VHD up on my YouTube page available  here . The actual installation disks, with written instructions and a source code patch are up on my Dropbox  here .

Trying to get productive again

As the title says, I'm trying to get productive again. First, I still can't find where I wrote down what I needed to work on next for BASIC Wrangler. Secondly, I managed to delete all my emulator installs. So, I'm working on getting them up and running again. The first fruit of my labor is an updated build of Epple II, available here. I'm also thinking of making a few set-up videos for some of the emulators, as some of them (especially the ones that require OS installs) can be a bit of a pain to get working properly.
