Mark Williams Coherent hanging during intial boot

nigwil opened this issue · comments

Maybe something subtle about emulator behaviour, fetch the fixed Coherent boot disk from here:

http://www.hampa.ch/pub/pce/misc/coh-2.3.43-boot-fixed.zip

enter fdcoherent at the ? prompt, it should display:

Coherent (435K, 7284) Version 2.3.43
(c) 1982 - 1985 Mark Williams Company, Chicago
# 

but only the first line appears and then it appears to hang.

Set of install diskettes, note the boot in this directory might not be the fixed one noted above.
