Coco/Atari OS9 new hardware

[XDelusion]

So does this OS work with the VBXE?


Either way it looks like I'm going to have to order one of these. My Atari's love to be upgraded!

Not much different than some of my other Atari upgrades... Like the VBXE.

Actually, xdude, I'd hold off buying one of these unless you're really into coding.
Because as near as I can see, there no software for it at all.
My first moves will be to study the hardware memory maps for Atari 8 bit systems and write some simple routines i can use for graphics and sound.

I also hope to get Pascal running fairly quickly (as it doesn't have a native graphics library) and then hope to manage to get Basic09 to run (without its Color computer specific GFX library).

Enhancing an assembler with some routines specific to Atari hardware would also be useful.

In some ways a 16 bit 6502C replacement would make more sense as the 6809 isn't 6502 compatible (so no existing software is going to run).

I am going to start compiling a list of OS9 titles that work or can be modified to work.

And I really look forward to using Antic and the GTIA.
