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.

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
