As a long time FLEX user on a homebrew SS50C system I have always been
intrigued by OS9. 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.
