As far as I know, Tandy never released a subsequent version to the one 
listed in your message. What I do know is that the components of Multi-Vue 
(gshell and the like) were enhanced and pretty much streamlined by the OS9 
community, The Rainbow magazine published several of the enhancements as 
sourcecode, check RTSI's site OS9 archive for more on MultiVue, try:

ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/SYSMODS/

Perhaps someone else has some info on *any* updates to Multi Vue from 
Tandy...

It was GShell 1.26 I read about. I did a google search in
bit.listserv.coco and found versions as late as 3.02!

What are the differences? What does GShell 3.02 do that 01.00.00
doesn't? What's the last version that will work on a 6809? Where can I
get the latest version?

There are a few versions that correct a few bugs and improve features.
Be aware that some later versions may work only with the Hitachi 6309
CPU installed. But for most the improvements were to increase the
performance of the gshell and make it run faster.

What was the last 6809 version?

No trash can? No click & drag? Still only 5 drives? How dissapointing.
I read that one version had a 25-line screen. Which one was that? Do
any of them go up to 28 lines?

teh 6309 was Hitachi's variant of the 6809. It has an expanded
instruction set and two more accumalators that canbe concacted into a
16 bit register like the D register. Also the D adn W can form a 32
bit register.

Sory that I am n ot up to date to much with the variants and which do
which. I don't use OS9 all that much anymore. Mosto fwhat I used the
CoCO 3 for is done is RSBASIC. 

None that I know of will do 28 lines. That is is pushing the limits of
what the GIME chip can do for the CoCo 3.
