I would be interested in finding out how to bring up OS9 on homebrew system without having to rob the US mint in order to finance it. I have never seen a "general purpose OS9", as exists with FLEX, with all the necessary documentation to install machine specific device drivers. I would also be interested in knowing if anyone has successfully hacked up the Radio Shack version to run on a SS50 system. It seems to me that it would be a very inexpensive way to get OS9 up and running. The C compiler that Radio Shack markets, which is presumably Microwares version, is also considerably cheaper than the one marketed for OS9 level 1 on a GIMIX. Has this version been altered to run ONLY on a color computer ? Any hints, pointers, or information gratefully accepted. Are there any FLEX users out there, there never seems to be any contributions from anyone to the news group. Not that I am complaining mind you, its great to see OS9 postings after months of no activity in the news group. In the words of the immortal Linus......."Sidney or the bush"
