The latest version of the EMULATOR is now in the COCO forum, Lib 8. It is
called COCO13.ZIP, and is the second release of this program. Includes bug
fixes for certain non-standard accesses to joystick and keyboard, and the OS9
LEVEL 1 BUG FIX. Check it out.

Are talking OS-9/6809 or OSK?  If OSK, there is not a file manager yet, but we
do have some utilities to read CDROM drives.  What are you looking for?

Anyone know where I can get a version of the ar (I assume it's short for
archive?) utility.  I'm new to the OS-9 forum and would like to check out some
of the offerings in the library, but can't un-archive the many .AR files.

If it makes a difference, I'm running OS-9 on a Philips CD-i 605 player.

Thanks in advance!

I've been exchanging email with Boisy Pietre at microware for a while via the
CIS internet mail service. All of a sudden my mail is bouncing back. Anyone
know why? Here is the polite part of the CIS error:

>   ----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
>boisy@microware.com  (unrecoverable error) > >   ----- Transcript of session
follows ----- >501 boisy@microware.com...  550 Host unknown (Name server: no

BTW, the email address I'm giving to CIS is ">INTERNET:boisy@microware.com".

Greetings all,

I am currently involved in a search to find a replacement for our existing
embedded Process Controller.

Our existing controller is responsible for PID control of heaters via analog
I/O, as well as sequencing of digital and analog I/O.

The main problem with this controller is that is proprietary, i.e.

1. Single Source Supplier

2. Closed hardware architecture

3. Expensive

4. Proprietary programming tools

5. Lack of compatability between new programming tools and
   older hardware & vice versa.

Altogether, YUK!!


The current favourite replacement system in my opinion has got to be a VME
platform running under OS/9 which means:-

1. Industry standard, therefore open architecture &
    multi-source.

2. 68030 based conroller for the same price as our current
   68000 based system

3. Programed in C & C++, hooray!!


I'd really like to hear from anybody who is using an OS9/VME in a similar
application ( or indeed OS9 users in general) who have any hints and pitfalls
to avoid for an OS/2 C/C++ Software Engineer starting out on the OS9 road.

Also, how good is the timing accuracy and repeatability under OS9??

Thanks,


Rich.
