There was a fair bit of information, but I don't have it with me right now. The most significant points for me were: 1. Fully reconfigurable RS-232 (t2) real-time (baud rates, parity etc.) 2. Partly reconfigurable t1 3. Separation of CCIO functions 3. 80 column card descriptor/driver (means the Shack's bringing out a card!) 4. hard disk descriptor/driver (means ... !) 5. Memory de-allocation has been cleaned up. 6. 'help' command. 7. Many functions now reconfigure output to match screen parameters (eg. 'dir') $25.00 US. for 2 new disks as upgrade package. All the new OS-9's sold thereafter will be 2.00.00 There was more info too. Many newer software packages will need this version to run.
