   I have run into another problem with OS9 Level II for the COCO.  The
system crashes whenever I try to use CHD.  At first I though any use of
CHD would cause it to die but now it seems that CHD works as long as the
disk is not write protected i.e. no write protect tab.  It seems odd to me
that CHD would even know if the disk was write protected.  Does this imply
that CHD writes on the disk or is it possible for the software to know if
a disk is write protected without writing on it.  In any case, why should
the system crash if it is?  As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I had to
zap out several instructions in the kernal to prevent it from trying to run
at 2MHz.  Perhaps my zap is at fault?
   One other oddity.  Issuing EX from the lowest level shell hangs the
system.  On level I, I thought SYSGO would restart things.
