Thanks, Kev. Unfortunately, my Coco 3 blew up. Nothing dramatic, it just
blanked out. I think it's the 6809. However, I can't find any decent software
for my like of work (Embedded Systems Programmer), so I'm going to dump almost
all the Coco stuff and concentrate on the MS-DOS stuff. Yeah, I know the OS
stinks (to put it mildly), but that's where the apps are. The advanced BASICs
(Quick BASIC & Turbo BASIC are almost as good as BASIC09, and there are a
number of other languages for a couple bucks each. Of course, if I get a 386
machine, and the price comes down, I'll probably get OS/9000. I'll be around
here for a while, then switch over mostly to the Software Engineering Group at
the CLM forum. Thanks again, RIch
