About CocoNotebook CocoNotebook is an interface that can be used to open Jupyter notebooks files (.ipynb) into a new, or existing, browser window. Coco is a small extension to get True C Coroutine semantics for Lua 5.1. Coco is available as a patch set against the standard Lua 5.1.5 source distribution. Coco is also integrated into LuaJIT 1.x to allow yielding for JIT compiled functions. But note that Coco does not depend on LuaJIT and works fine with plain Lua. Cocoa is a development API native to the Mac OS X operating system. Cocoa Touch is the closely-related analogous platform for the iOS. It is written in Objective-C, and acts as a sort of 'top layer' to each operating system.

Efficient Storage for the CoCo!If you always wanted to find a useful way to share space on your PC hard drive with your CoCo, then you will love DriveWire 3/4. DriveWire 3 turns your PC into a full file server for your CoCo under Disk BASIC or NitrOS-9. With 38,400 bits per second achievable on a CoCo 1, a fast 57,600 bits per second on a CoCo 2 and a blazing 115,200 bits per second on a CoCo 3, you will never use a floppy disk again.
Thebest part is that no additional hardware is needed. Simply plug one endof the DriveWire cable into the CoCo's built-in RS-232 port, and theother end into your PC serial port. Install the accompanying softwareand your personal computer's hard drive is your CoCo's to use!
Standard Features
- Uses your PC hard drive as your CoCo's storage.
- Fully transparent under NitrOS-9 and Disk BASIC! Looks just like a hard drive.
- Super fast 115,200 bps on a CoCo 3, 57,600 bps on a CoCo 2, 38,400 bps on a CoCo 1.
- Built-in error detection assists in error-free transfers.
- Includes special version of HDB-DOS for DriveWire!
- NitrOS-9 booter module included; combine with the NitrOS-9 ROM Kit for disk free booting!
- Bit-banger routines compliments of Darren Atkinson.
- DriveWire 3 is a free product, compliments of Cloud-9!
How To Use DriveWire
Thereare several different ways to start your CoCo using DriveWire. Butbefore you do, make sure you have the following items on your checklist:
- A CoCo 1, CoCo 2 or CoCo 3
- A DriveWire cable connected from your CoCo to your Mac or PC.
- The appropriate DriveWire server loaded and running on your Mac or PC.
- The DriveWire 3 HDB-DOS and DW3DOS archive file below should be downloaded to your Mac or PC, along with the NitrOS-9 archive.
- AROM Pak or disk controller containing either the HDB-DOS or DW3DOS ROM,OR a cassette cable. If you have a cassette cable, hook one end to yourCoCo's Cassette port and the audio IN jack on the other end to theaudio OUT jack of your Mac or PC.
When it comes to using DriveWire you havetwo different approaches: use HDB-DOS or use DW3DOS. The former is afull-fledged extension to Disk BASIC and can access RS-DOS disk imagesas well as boot into NitrOS-9 (by typing the DOS command). The lattersimply pulls the sectors off of track 34 of the mounted disk image onthe server and jumps to address $2602 (perfect for booting right intoNitrOS-9 or any other operating system that supports this bootstrapmethod).
Option 1: Using CLOADM:EXEC
Ifyou do not have HDB-DOS or DW3DOS burned into ROM, then the quickestway to get your CoCo running DriveWire is to use one of the supplied.WAV files. The pros to using this method are: minimal hardwarerequirements (just two cables connected from your Mac or PC to yourCoCo), and the cartridge slot remains free to plug in a peripheral. Thecons to using this method are: the cassette load must take place eachtime you power up your CoCo, which can take time.
To get started, you must choose which .WAV file to load:
- Ifyou want to run HDB-DOS, your CoCo 1 or 2 must have Extended BASIC and64K of RAM; you will need to queue the hdbcc1.wav or hdbcc2.wav file inyour favorite music player on your Mac or PC. CoCo 3 users should queueup the hdbcc3.wav file.
- If you want to use DW3DOS to boot right into aNitrOS-9 disk image, then your CoCo 1 or 2 must have 64K and you willneed to queue the dw3doscc1.wav or dw3doscc2.wav file in your favoritemusic player on your Mac or PC. CoCo 3 users should queue up thedw3doscc3.wav file.
Once the appropiate WAV file is queued up,hook up the cassette type CLOADM:EXEC on your CoCo and press ENTER,then play the queued .WAV file on your Mac or PC. You may have toadjust the volume levels on your Mac or PC to insure that the fileloads properly. Once the file is loaded, you will see either theHDB-DOS welcome screen or the DW3DOS boot screen.
Option 2: Using a ROM Pak or Other Cartridge
HavingHDB-DOS or DW3DOS in a ROM Pak or other cartridge (such as a diskcontroller or RS-232 Pak) is the fastest way to bring your CoCo up tospeed with DriveWire. Your CoCo 1 or CoCo 2 can have as little as 16Kof RAM. The only down side is that it does require additional hardwareand takes up the cartridge slot. Also, if you don't have a ROM alreadyburned you will need to pick from one of the HDB-DOS or DW3DOS imagesin the archive and burn that image into ROM.
To run, simply insert the ROM Pak or cartridge containing the HDB-DOS or DW3DOS ROM into the CoCo and power it up.
