As Bill Dickhaus mentioned in his reply, you first need to check to see that
you are using the correct version of OS/9.  There were 2 "levels" of the OS. If
it is level 1, you need OS/9, Version 2.0, or Level 2 will work.  If it is
version 1., it will not work.

Also, some of the disks do not operate under OS/9, of those you mentioned, Deft
PASCAL does not ( I think), and EDTASM doesn't.  These operate directly under
the Basic Operating system that you have when you first turn the computer on.

As Bill suggested, you might try and look for another boot disk, many of the
games have their own boot on them, but it is a very rudimentary system that is
included.

One thing for certain, if you are getting the "OS9 BOOT" logo, you do have a
boot disk of some sort, however, most errors will produce the prompt "FAIL"
beneath the first prompt.

Let us know how you are progressing; someone here is certain to be able to come
up with the solution.
