Marty Goodman on Delphi suggested I try downgrading my CoCo3 to 128K and see
what happens; he added that I could for now I could leave out the

two capacitors I earlier removed for the 512K upgrade.  I did power up in ECB
2.0!  So now I know that the 6809 was really OK after all. But some problems
remain.  I can get disk operation with the FD-502 going right into the
cartridge slot but I cannot get disk operation at all with the Slot Pak III
plugged in.  I booted OS-9 from my copy of the original

distribution disk since I know it can boot into 128K but I have more problems. 
I modpatched /d0 and /d1 for 40tks dsdd and 80 tks dsdd respectfully.  My /d1
is 3.5".  Whenever I try to access data on the 3.5" disks I always get a ERROR
249.  I formatted a disk and it did format to 80 tks dsdd just fine, and I
could dir and free it. Just not with an existing disk.  At stake is the
entirety of my erased hard drive which I will want to restore albeit with stock
interleave so I must do something, but what?
