2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.
NitrOS-9
NitrOS-9 was primarily a creation of three Canadians: Bill Noble, Wes Gayle and Curtis Boyle. It started out as an enhanced version of OS-9 Level Two for the Color Computer 3, incorporating then-newly discovered 6309 instructions to enhance performance.
Alan DeKok further enhanced NitrOS-9.
Through the work of Alan and Boisy Pitre, NitrOS-9 was "re-released" as an open source project in 2003. It now supports all Color Computers, including the Dragon 64.
