The TRS-80 Color Computer "All" Links

I made a page with "all" links for Color Computer web pages. They was in
my Firefox's favourites directory and now I'm sharing them with you all!

The urls are: 

- In English: http://colorcomputer.50webs.com/cocolinks-en.html
- In Brazilian Portuguese:
http://colorcomputer.50webs.com/cocolinks.html

If anybody know any CoCo-related Site that isn't there, please notice
me!

Regards,
Carlos

I've just started looking at this game. It uses Level I and has the modules 
RS232 and T1 in the os9boot file. Perhaps T1 is used by Odyssey but I'll need to 
do some testing.
At the moment, the game as is won't run when started in a vdg screen from 
NitrOS-9 Level I or Level II.

The game can't be using the bitbanger port or the RS-232 pak so the presence of 
an RS232 module is puzzling.

The version I have is 1.0 which has an oddball line in the owner's manual for 
starting the game. "If you boot from a separate OS-9 system disk, put the Robot 
Odyssey disk in drive 0 and type CHX /D0/CMDS. Type RUN "ROBOT" [ENTER] to start 
Robot Odyssey."
Not only is RUN anything not an OS-9 command, but there is no ROBOT file in the 
CMDS directory. The game starts with STARTUP, a file in the CMDS directory. 
Actually the file MENU in the CMDS directory is internally named ROBOT. That's 
what you would see if the module were loaded into memory.

Re: NitrOS-9 V3.3.0 and DriveWire

My suggestion would be to look for hard-coded device names, like /TERM in 
the code. Such things have caused other programmes to fail or refuse to work 
in the LII windowing environment.

That doesn't seem to be in the code but in any case, the game still won't work 
when booting from NitrOS-9 Level I where /term is the screen in use.

Robert,
do you have a dsk image file of Robot Oddessy?
Two heads would be better than one IMHO, to nut this out.

I don't have the manual.  Is there a 2-player mode?  Either that or
they just used a standard kernel image.

HA!  That's real good.  Someone couldn't decide which OS it should run
under.

Yeah, I remember that now.  That's about as far as I got debugging
it, though.
