MediaWiki:Sitenotice
2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net

Have been using a Coco since 1981, with one of the original 4K battlehip grey models (a "D" board"). Placed in couple of Rainbow magazines programming contests (1 each in Adventure and Simulation contests). I authored a fair number of RS-DOS, and later, OS-9/NitrIOS9 programs, and was one of the original 3 co-authors of NitrOS9 itself (along with Bill Nobel and Wes Gale). I also did some updates, etc. like Gshell 1.26, the PLAY command (with true stereo support), the PROC command with extended support for BASIC09, CCUNZIP, and others I can't remember off the top of my head. I also helped develop drivers for the TC-9 Coco clone from Frank Hogg, and for the Glenside IDE controller.

   Currently, my Coco's and TC-9 are boxed up, but I still try to contribute to the community by staying active on the Coco lists, and with my Coco games webapge at: http://nitros9.stg.net/coco_game_list.html
