In response to recent requests regarding the OS9 USERS GROUP, here is
some information on ordering disks from the OS9 USERS GROUP LIBRARY.

=====================================================================

           Instructions For Ordering UG Library Disks
           (for members of the OS-9 Users Group ONLY)
 
    PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SENDING IN YOUR DISK ORDER!!
 
 
1) Note what type of computer system you are running OS-9 on.
Theoretically, all OS-9 systems should be able to read one or
more of the following format disks:
 
Type "A": Standard Microware Format (track 0 is single density,
          all tracks are 16 sectors long)
 
Type "B": Tandy Color Computer Format (all tracks are double
          density and 18 sectors long)
 
Type "C": Atari 3.5" Format (Micro-Floppy 3.5" disks, 80 tracks,
          all tracks double density)
 
 
2) Determine what type of floppy disk drives you have on your
OS-9 computer system. The available choices are...
 
           Type "A"           Type "B"            Type "C"
 Code  Std. OS-9 Format:  CoCo OS-9 Format:  Atari OS-9 Format:
            (5.25")            (5.25")            (3.5")
 
   1    35 track ss sd     35 track ss dd     80 track ss dd
   2    35 track ds sd     35 track ss dd     80 track ss dd
   3    40 track ss sd     35 track ss dd     80 track ss dd
   4    40 track ds sd     40 track ss dd     80 track ss dd
   5    40 track ds dd     40 track ds dd     80 track ss dd
   6    80 track ds dd     80 track ds dd     80 track ds dd
 
             KEY: ss=single sided,  ds=double sided,
                  sd=single density, dd=double density
 
 Choose the codes above which represent the formats of disks you
know you are able to read. For example, most TRS-80 Color
Computers can only read formats #B1, #B2, #B3 and (sometimes) #B4
above. This indicates that a person with a stock Color Computer
should be careful to only order Library volumes with these format
codes. DO NOT ORDER LIBRARY DISKS WITH FORMAT CODES OTHER THAN
THE ONES WHICH YOU KNOW YOUR SYSTEM IS ABLE TO READ!
 
 
3) Choose the Volume Numbers of the individual disks you would
like to order, carefully noting the format code of each volume
you would like to order. IF THE FORMAT CODE OF THE DISK YOU WOULD
LIKE TO ORDER DOES NOT MATCH THE CODE OF A FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER
SYSTEM IS ABLE TO READ (as calculated in step 2 above), YOU
SHOULD NOT ORDER THAT VOLUME!! Yes, this means that it is
possible that a disk you want may not be available in a format
you can read. This is sometimes necessary when an individual
program on a disk is too big to fit on a small format disk.
In particular, it should be noted that Volumes #2, and #49 cannot
be used on most TRS-80 Color Computers. Care should also be taken
before ordering Volumes #6, #19, #39, #47, #55 and #56 (and any
others whose format code is 4 or greater). Also note that the
multi-disk "Archive Set" of the entire UG Library is only
available in STANDARD MICROWARE FORMAT on 80 track ds dd disks
(format number A6) ONLY and can therefore not be used on a stock
TRS-80 Color Computer or Atari ST Computer.
 
 
4) Prices for individual volumes are as follows (as of December,
1987):
 
           Type "A"           Type "B"            Type "C"
 Code  Std. OS-9 Format:  CoCo OS-9 Format:  Atari OS-9 Format:
            (5.25")            (5.25")            (3.5")
 
   1      $6.00 each         $6.00 each         $8.00 each

   3      $6.00 each         $6.00 each         $8.00 each
   4      $6.00 each         $6.00 each         $8.00 each
