Where are the OS9 tools for UNIX? Will they work in Linux? Finally a reason to warm up my Lindows machine!
Sourceforge has a copy of os9 tools for Unix/Linux. However, all the file specific ones are really for OS9 level 2, written to facilitate the usage of CoCo3 stuff. Our 9100's use OS9/68000, level 2.2 (or 2.4, or maybe a hybrid) which most of the file tools won't understand the binary format of. The disk image tools will work (copy file, format image, etc), as the OS9 filesystem is the same for both versions.
