Summary: Minor bug

-------------------------------

  There are a few wrong symbols in the posted version of OS9Gen2. At the
beginning, the Version 2 kernel equates should be:

	 IFEQ VERSION-2
KERNSECT EQU 16 Number of sectors required by kernel file
KERNADDR EQU $EF00 Address of kernel in memory
KERNSIZE EQU $1000 Size of kernel file
	 ELSE

  The stuff after ELSE is for Version 1 and is OK as is. NewDisk does not
work under Version 2. The V2 CCDisk uses the new virtual interrupt scheme
to time-out the disk spindle motors; I tried sticking the code into NewDisk
but it locked up the system after the first access. I'll need the Version 2
system call documentation to do anything further, and the local Radio Shack
professes total ignorance when asked about it.

  The newsgroup is silent once more. These programs are the only traffic
I've seen in two weeks. Where is everybody?

  A portable program is one that will exhibit the same bugs on many
different computers.
