In case anyone is puzzled by the Welsh Connection here, the Dragon64 was
identical to the Trash-80 (Co-Co version), and that was the only machine you
could run OS9 on at the time.
Actually, the *only interesting thing you could do with a Trash-80 was to
run OS9.
And OS9, as I'm sure everyone knows, was a stand-alone Unix clone, Linux
before Dom was even a smidgen in his parents' eyes.
Way back in the day, there were exactly four people in the UK (other than
the University apparatiks who were using OS9 for robotics) who were into
OS9, and I had the sad distinction of being the only one of the four of us
who had a credit card which worked in the USA.
So I'd pay for the pd programs and have them shipped over on 5-1/4 in
floppies.
Hey, don't knock it, it sure as hell beat having to store programs on
cassette tape!
