I believe OS-9 68K found a lot of industrial use, it was a bit pricey in hardware and software for home/hobby users. But many hobbyists and business people familiar with SS-50 and OS-9 6809 (and Flex), found their way to OS-9. And i think there was an OS-9 flavor for the Tandy Color Computer (6809) line.
I have OS-9 for the Tandy Color Computer:

One of these days, I'll get around to trying it, although I should probably go with NitrOS-9.
I've been interested in running it on a CoCo, but honestly I'd prefer an ASCII terminal on a serial port to that level of video. :-/ Don't get me wrong, I think CoCos are great machines. But for running a powerful OS with editors, compilers, etc...it screams out for good text terminals. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
