I have no experience with OS-9, but have taken an interest in it over the past few months. I'm slowly putting together a 6809-based system to run it on.
Please share what you build. Microware's OS-9 was a very interesting OS. Also Nitros9 Level I & II is available for the 6809 (CoCo, ST2900, SWTPC).
With some kind assistance from Bob Applegate, I now have OS/9 Level I (the NitrOS9 distribution) up and running on an all-new-hardware (Corsham Tech) SS-50 6809 system. Some of the material has not yet been released, and Bob is still digging for some of the details and sources, but it boots and runs.
Recently picked up a blank PT69-5 (6809) from Fred (Peripheral Technologies). Looking forward to building that. Fred is working on the same, OS/9, drivewire, Flex, Uniflex, etc. Would love to see all these systems running these OSs. :-) We live in interesting times, both good and bad.
BTW< I think we lost Peter Stark's Star-K stuff. I think I have the HUMBUG source for the 6801, 6809 and 68K. I wish I had grabbed the rest when I had a chance.
I'd love a copy of those HUMBUG sources, if you don't mind.
Dave, I'll need to dig those up. Might take me a while as I'm working on taking 40+ hours worth of classes. So you may need to bounce a brick off my head if I forget (... I'm good at subtle...). -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
